I have extreme itching and visited doctors. They took blood tests with excellent results - no problems indicated anywhere . No idea of problem, but every time I look up severe itching it points to liver problem. Whay can I do next ?

I use organic apple cider vinegar with organic coconut oil. It works for me. That must be awful for you. I am very sorry. I hope you find something that works for you. I never have in all these years scratched mine, I hear it ignites a response for it to become worse. I am sure scratching will inflame the nerves just under your skin. Our skin is I have heard like an organ. Best wishes...

I bathe all over once a month with nizorell shampoo. Strong antidandruff recommended by doc. Can be fungal tho not viable. My itching went straight away. Worth a try. Itching is hellish!!

Hi,

Welcome to the forum.

There could be many reasons why you are itching so badly. If all your blood tests have come back normal it may be advisable to ask for a referral to a dermatologist and a liver specialist who can advise you further?

We would also recommend only to take medications or treatments that have been prescribed or advised by your own GP.

Best wishes,

Rebecca
