Itchy skin

[Dibage]

Hi my Lupie friends I was diagnosed with Sue last year and on Prednisone n Navique. Now of late my skin is itching getting worse daily. I went to see my Physician who admitted me for 5days and add new meds bt still I problem has not been resolved. I'm back home bt scratching myself not stop. Areas affected are my legs and my back. I'm not having a rash my skin is just itching. He did some blood test for any allergies bt they came out negative. I'm so frustrated anyone who can assist or had the same problem. Dibage
