Aveeno (blue one ) is a cream they make for babies with triple oats and shea butter on special at tescos at the moment OR Sudafed is antiseptic cream for eczema nappy rash and surface wounds all worjust depends what is best for your skin There is also a cream the hospital prescribe but I will have to send you the name of that later as in bed at the moment. Sometime after showering I mix avernoith any nice oil so I can put it all over quickly is particularly dry ,good luck hope you get some sleep

Hi Kate0 , if you feel porridge oats are helping you should put them in a stocking and run water through them and then use water to bathe your arms , that is an old remedy ( so am I )  used to take the itch out of chicken pox , where the water was run  through the oats  into the bath and bathe in it  , but if it's  only your arms then a basin would do , sometimes the old remedies are the best  .

Hope this is of help and rellieves the itchiness  x 

Hi KateO

Just a thought; have you tried 'over the counter' antihistamines?   

I have  an autoimmune reaction brought on by the cancer, which on occasion in the evening sets of the nerves across my limbs.  I find that a one or two antihistamine tablets soon settles everything down.

Worth a try?
