Severe uncontrollable itching

[Pelley]

This is across my shoulders just below my pecs ,sometimes shins/ankles and other times forearms/wrists. It has resently developed into a rash with minor breaking of skin itching. I have kept it somewhat controlled with hydrocortisone. Where should i start searching for a cause? Sinimet? Anyone else encountered such a issue?

I have the same thing but have not associated it with PD. People with PD can have other ailments too. As you age dry skin becomes common. I have anti-itch creams and sometimes take an antihistamine. PD or not all you can do is treat the symptoms.

a friend of mine has this, and i used to have it. i went to a dermatologist and got a prescription fo triamcinolone acetonide ointment and cream --2 separate containers. i put the cream on my skin then the ointment over it..

you can also try using coconut oil and when in doubt grab a benadryl or two

For the past few days itching, red rash on my legs, mostly starts late afternoin...did not think it was PD, have other health issues so I am still wondering what it is? Have a Dr appointment.,.

My husband has been suffering with severe itching, mainly on his shoulders and arms, for over five years. Dermatologist, allergy specialist-you name it-we've tried it. All we're told is he'll just have to live with it. He was diagnosed with PD about six months ago, I am definitely going to discuss with his neurologist at next visit. He has very minor tremors, mainly at night. So glad I am on this site! He also has stage four COPD for last nine years. Still fighting on.

Yes. Sinamet is the problem. With me anyway. Stopped it and no more itching. I came out in Hive like welts too.

Google Niacin overdose and see if it applies. I was researching Niacin to find out what foods are high in Niacin and there's something called the Niacin flush & it causes red flushing of the skin and itching.

Everyone with Intense itching must rule out the blood Cancer, Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma. I survived 9 months of HELL itching, before I was Diagnosed! Chemo was a welcome friend! It stopped the Itching! My Cancer Doctor said "Itching is the first symptom of this blood Cancer, why Didn't the other Doctors know this!" Janet127 Survivor for 21 years!
