Is it a symptom?

My skin used to itch terribly but then I got a sample of Doublebase gel when I was at the Royal Free Hospital and now I get it on prescription. It is the best cream and it stopped the itch immediately. I have Scleroderma.

Thank you Irene55, we shall try it!

I had them on my elbow ...really painful as you say, also on the bridge of my nose where my specs sit! Its mad that such a tiny thing can cause so much pain!! It seems to be where skin is thin and tight in my case. I have scleroderma. For my elbow i put on one of those blister plasters ...you can keep them on days and it gave the skin chance to heal over (in my case). Worth a try at least.... as long as you put them onto clean dry skin. They tollerate showers etc.

Good luck.XXXXXX.

Hi Judith3, Thank you for your response. I will ask her to try it. She does have very tight skin too xxxx
