Hi Sulaina

Have a look at my last post above under BigSpuds. I know how that itching drives you to distraction, you can't concentrate on anything but that!

Hi Sulaina go see your doctor there are several antihistamines and creams you can get that they can prescribe that have little to no effect on you medical condition

Hello Sulaina, you need to see your doctor regarding this issue as it is unlikely to be just itchy skin that you are suffering. If you are itching due to your liver being unwell it is likely that you have possibly got advanced liver disease and this needs exploring further. All the creams and lotions in the world won't make that better but might just mask some of the itchy symptoms.
