Itchy skin and scalp



Recommended Posts

Is anyone else having this issue? I think especially my scalp. I guess every thing is just super dry. Not sure if it's from surgery or not, but it was not like this before surgery.

I also have that though I don't remember when it started. I use Selsun Blue Shampoo periodically and it really helps. Are you taking Biotin? That is supposed to be good for skin and hair.< /p>

I take it every once in a while. I already had it for the chemo med I have to take every week. At this point it is pretty difficult for me and all the pills I have to take.....

Not the scalp part, but just about everywhere else itches all the time.

Before surgery I never had anything like this.

And now, I've resorted to having to use lotion to keep my skin moist. I've hated lotion with a passion in the past, but unfortunately now it is part of my daily routine.

OH THE ITCHIES!!!!

This is new to me. I am using Cetaphil on my legs and arms. If I don't use the lotion the ITCHIES wake me up in the night. The lotion does seem to work. I am guessing that this too will go away with time.

My back hurts and it's due to weight loss but the itches holy cow. I ask hubby to rub me down every night and when traveling I desperately look for a back scratcher of some sort. It's worse on my back

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
