Itchy forehead update

Hi, everybody. I just wanted to post an update. So I was going to call the doctor on Monday about my forehead, but when I woke up, the itchiness was gone, and my forehead looked a little better. I had Cetaphil face wash, which I normally use, and Cetaphil lotion, so I gave it a shot and slathered it on. As of today, it’s probably about 70% better. Now I know it’s not the medication because if it were, it wouldn’t have gotten better. Here is a picture from this morning. You can tell it’s much better. I’ll keep doing the lotion for now. I don’t want to be taken off the medication if I can help it, and I’m 99% sure that wasn’t the cause.

Thank you for all of your suggestions. I didn’t have Eucerin on hand, but I did have the Cetaphil.

That looks so much better

Just shows we blame our meds for everything and it’s not often the case just coincidence

Bet you’re so pleased

Thank you, Barbteeth. I couldn’t think it was the meds because I have been on them for so long. I’m baffled as to why, but I am pleased it’s getting better. 😃

Glad the forehead itchiness has gone and hope it clears up soon . Maybe keep a record when in the cycle it happened and anything you did different that day eg sunbathed , so that if it were to come back , you could compare . Take care ! x

Thank you.

That’s looking much better. Like Barb said we are all to quick to blame the meds. Hopefully in a few days it will be gone.
