Itchy back

[P0rgie]

Dad has an itchy back. I can't see anything there, any ideas?

Yes my dad experienced this in different places over the body we used anti histamine and aqueous cream all over, I think this is another side effect of Psp but one that will pass x

Pinched nerves may do that. Beware of overuse of certain medicated (hydrocortisone) creams, as they can cause changes in the skin. (Personal experience on this.) I use Gold Bond lotion when my guy is itchy, it has cooling menthol, and that seems to help.

Yes...ec is right (again) lack of blood flow ie pinched nerve, sitting in one place for too long etc even lack of muscle use can have this effect . I massage my husband before bed; during the day he stands up and I itch or vigorously massage his back and back legs...and bum....just a few minutes but it gets things flowing!....

Any new articles of clothing ? blankets ? Good luck with that and do be careful with the steroidals...

Hi

Rog has this looks like someone has dragged a garden rake over his back, he can' t reach that far when he is awake! We have a cream mixed with cooling menthol on prescriptio which helps a lot. It's nerve damage and must be so annoying.

Thank you everyone. It's nice to know he's not the only one.

Keep smiling 😊
