Guest guest Posted February 13, 2001 Report Share Posted February 13, 2001 Hi, Have you tried any of the products for skin and hair that contain tea tree oil? It's possible those might help.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2001 Report Share Posted February 13, 2001 Ann, You might try Benadryl at a low dose. If the itching involves the histamine receptors, this should help. The main side effect is drowsiness. God Bless, Jim Stark What helps itchy skin > > Hi all: > > Besides scratching it..... Mother's scalp itches, so we use Head and > Shoulders Shampoo.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2001 Report Share Posted February 13, 2001 Hi: Proametin will cause ichy skin. Jack was suffering from his head really ichy to distraction. We cut down on his medication after talking to the doctor and watched to see if his blood pressure was still alright. He still is a little ichy, but it is tolerable and his blood pressure is good also. I would say take a look at the amount of medication taken. Also look at other medications. Antibiotics can cause rashes and problems also. Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
