Hi

Does anyone suffer from itching? I have a really sore and itchy chest I've been given creams but nothing works. There are so many symptoms crawling out of the woodwork I wondered if this may be another?

Hi,

Sorry to hear you have this too. I have this on my legs started at the feet and worked it's way up. It's like having something crawling over you and once you start to scratch it spreads even more. I am no on Gabapentin which I think has helped a little they still itch but not as bad as it was.

Hope this is of help.

Take care,

Alison

Goodness! I've never known a disease like this, there seems to be no end to symptoms! Thank you for letting me know and I hope your symptoms aren't too bad xx

is it yeast? I had pityrosporum folliculitis all over my forehead and neck and thought it was acne. itched like crazy. fluconazole helped but ultimately balancing my flora and boosting my immune system is what took care of it. (I also am super prone to thrush) start incorporating coconut oil and probiotics into your diet. I buy nexabiotic and acidophilus from Amazon. HUGE difference in how I look and feel.
