PBC and dry skin

[lizzybeebee2003]

Hi all. I have PBC and have always had very oily skin. Literally overnight it's become sore, itchy and extremely dry. It could, of course, be menopause, but I'm wondering if any other PBC sufferers have experienced this? The dry patches are particularly bad under my eyes. Is this a butterfly rash?Would really appreciate any thoughts 😊

Hi lizzy just talking to the wife and she tells me that I suffered with it and she brought Nivea body cream and moisturised me all over then when the big jar ran out body butter. I really hope this helps 💕

Thanks so much. Do you have PBC? Is the dry skin related do you know?

no I am an alcoholic and I had Alcoholic liver cirrhosis, but I have been dry for 20 years and are just about to celebrate my first year anniversary of my transplant but I had the dry itchy skin. Good luck with yours 💕
