Hi, my husband initially struggled badly with itching and his consultant prescribed Colestyramine, which has helped him so much, (must be working he never mentions itching anymore). Have a chat with her Dr to see if it's a possibility. Wishing her luck.Liz

Hi, the only cream that gives me relief is Dermacool 5% menthol. Obviously check it's ok with your GP first. I get mine on prescription. Good luck 🤞

only thing that gave me relief is Rifampicin. But it’s pretty hard core and can bone with some other side effects.
