Hello everyone I am new to this group and was wondering if anyone else is on immunotherapy as any advice on easing itchy skin is welcome.
Thanks

Hi Free12 thank you for responding, the itching is unbearable. Been given Epimax, Antihistamines but did not help so today rapid response said try steroid cream.
