Itchy skin from phesgo

9 years is a long time on phesgo though isn’t it I’m just starting my 2nd year with no problems so far I’d love to get 9 years out of it 

Hi there. I’ve just started getting itchy skin in the last couple of months and the intensity has increased over time.  I was using Eurex and piriton and then was prescribed with hydrocortisone, Pembix (that’s definitely not the right name, but can’t find tube to correct it)and antihistamine.  Nothing seemed to work and then I noticed that I got some relief from cold water. I now have gel packs that I freeze and put under tubigrip on my forearms. I look a complete idiot but beyond caring now. With the itchy arms and explosive diarrhoea, I’m an absolute babe. Anyway keep trying different things until you find what works for you. Good luck.

I am on my 12th Phesgo jab and also suffer with really itchy skin on arms legs and back along with a few scabby spots.

I have been prescribed various creams and antihistamine tablets but nothing seems to work.

I also have problems with my left calf. Very painful and sensitive to touch, very hard red area and sometimes quite hot. Scans have thankfully shown no blood clots.

I get very little sleep which is not good next step is to see a dermatologist. Any advice really appreciated.
