Itchy Skin

Hi Brian,

I've been on the HT jabs for over two years now and found I had itchy legs and feet especially in bed. I was recommended XBC aqueous cream which comes in a tub. It's best to get the SLS version as it doesn't have any added perfume. I think Superdrug stock it and maybe other discount chemist stores in worth a try, it worked for me!

Best wishes,

BAS

Good Morning Bas

Thanks for the heads up - not tried that one and just found it on a well known online store with free delivery tomorrow. It's not too expensive which is a help. I will keep you posted as to my reaction to it.

Kind Regards - Brian.

I've had good results with Epaderm cream. It really works with better outcomes than the one they offered after chemo.

That sounds like a plan. If it works after Chemo it should work on my dry skin - I will add it to the list to try.  Thanks for  your help an best wishes with your condition.

Kind Regards - Brian.

Hi, I use Sanex 0% shower gel which I found works great and is easy to apply all over. Just make sure you rinse the shower out afterwards as any soap left will dry like an ice rink. https://www.boots.com/sanex-zero-gentle-moisture-shower-gel-for-sensitive-skin-450ml-10296928?cm_mmc=bmm-buk-google-ppc-_-PLAs_HeroCompare-_-Toiletries_Personal_Care-_-UK_Smart_Shopping_Toiletries_Personal_Care&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwuzDoL2h_AIVgtPtCh3_kQDAEAQYGSABEgK0yPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds   Boots £3 for 450ml

Good Afternoon Harry

Thanks for the heads up - I will give that one a shout - at £ 3.00 a go it's a bargain if it stops me scratching - at this rate I will be wearing oven gloves to bed!!

Sorry to hear about your own issues. Apart from the itching with dry skin the only other issue I have been bothered with on HT is the hot flushes but Sage Tablets have dropped them to few and far between and only a few minuets at the most.

You take care and best wishes for 2023.

Kind Regards - Brian.
