Mine doesn't really itch. No more than any other part of my body. Why would it itch ?

The poll should have had a 'it doesn't itch anymore than any other part '

Hi Tizzy I will add 'doesn't itch', when I can as today I am going to be without broadband as I am changing provider.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Many of our support members experience severe itching, dry skin, skin that breaks down cause problems. Many of our members are on permanent antihistamines, including me. Good skin-care is essential, moisturising, drinking plenty of water for those that can.

As we grow this forum we will be tackling lots of topics. 🌟
