Itchyness/Psoriasis/ Eczema

I find pain killers help with the itching.
Desperate times call for desperate measures.

I sometimes I think that my love of soaking in the tub with bubbles sets my skin off .
It can burn and itch .Sudocream and /or Aloe Vera gel soothes it .
In the Autumn , I had a lot of intense itching around my waistline and thought that it was the beginning of shingles, but it calmed down .

Ooh those pictures!!!

This isn’t funny 😡

Fibreglass is mentioned, double 😡😡

Fancythat
I see from your ling that you had test done and they came back clear?
If the dermatologist doesn’t know what he/she is looking for how do they detect it.
Btw, that should be link in the first line.
I can only hope that Drs are talking about this problem.

I made a thread in the summer, as I thought I may have cellulitis.

I still have the blistery red, itchy patch, and now I've convinced myself it may be an ulcer in the making.

You are lucky you can sleep well. One night, I was itching and scratching the whole night. I had spent that afternoon on my son’s patio, while the farmer next door was making hay bales. I took a hot shower and doubled the dose of antihistamines, (although I was not supposed to). Managed a disturbed sleep. I’ll Never forget that night

I remember the terrible skin problems people had ( years ago) who bought sofas from China.

I have a cousin who suffered from that only recently[no idea if sofa was actually from China].
Her husband happened to watch a consumer programme[or was it Martyn Lewis] and it was mentioned that people can be allergic to their sofas.
They had fairly recently bought a new leather sofa{I think it was leather, sorry cannot accurately remember exact details].

I find that being too hot or too cold is irritating and itchy.
GP said that "skin problems" means skin is susceptible to temperatures.

I therefore presume that is why I am struggling with cotton, as it makes my skin feel too cold.

Literally about 5 GP visits more after I wrote the thread, [including more photos sent to a dermatologist], and a GP whom I like, and hadnt seen during this year, well last now, declares I definitely have psoriasis.
And joy of joys, I am getting an urgent referral to see a dermatologist[hospital waiting list in our area, 1 year].

Not sure if that helps you at all.

But main reason I am writing this is because I was told not to use E45 as it has lanolin[no idea what that is] in it.
The GP had said to use a moisturiser and what did I have had home. Only one I had was the E45, so she prescribed me something fragrance free, sls free, lanolin free and something else free.

I think the things she prescribed for me are just a holding pattern thing until an appointment comes through.

Feel free to DM me if you want to.
But since next to nothing has worked well for months, I may be of limited use.

I find wearing clothes that are synthetic are more comfortable than wearing cotton, linen etc.

I’m surprised there aren’t more cases of irritation from clothing.
Thousands of chemicals are used in the clothing industry to bring the raw material to market.
Added to that there are the plastics used in the materials.

I have terrible trouble with itching.

It drives me mad, and makes me really bad tempered.
