Does anybody have a particular brand of lotion or antihistamine that can elevate the itching, particularly when I’m on my PD machine at bedtime ???

I get itchy skin and random little rashes that come and go, I’ve been wondering what may be causing it! I feel like a loppy dog in bed on an night!

Me too! I find E45 Anti-Itch cream very effective. You can get it on prescription or off the supermarket shelf.

I asked my doctor and he recommended benadryl cream in small amounts.

Some more suggestion for the mix. Cotton bed linen and clothes are better for itchy skin, and should be washed in a detergent for babies and/or sensitive skin. Some eczema ointments, lotions may help - talk to your pharmacist who will usually have better "at the coalface" information than your GP.

Hi

Give Diprobase cream or lotion a try it`s very good for dry itchy skin it can be bought over the counter or you can probably find it cheaper online from online pharmacists. It doesn`t contain any harsh ingredients only natural moisturisers.
