Really dry, itchy skin

kblah blah blah blah blah

my message was deemed too short to send, so I elongated it in mysterious type.

I have to wonder what's wrong with a brief post when it's directly to the point.

yowza! That's what I do too! LOL
Usually it's my feet, so I go into the garage sink and run some hot water on it. The itch disappears!
Also, the best treatment is to use the Eucerin right after a shower/bath when the pores are open.
Anybody have a cure for itchy scalp?

If I could think of something, it might be horribly greasy.

hamburger swears by Vichy products for his hair/scalp. Says they've prevented the itchiness of dry scalp for a couple of years now.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Even feel a little itch right now!

It was recommended to him at a pharmacy in Buenas Aires when they stopped in BA on a cruise.

CVS carries it, so I'm going to buy it tomorrow.

Hi Roger,
I think you should take advice from skin specialist.
Thanks!!

I just finished washing my hair with apple cider vinegar, and the itching stopped. What a relief!

Triamsinalone cream can be obtained from a doctor. It works. I don't know if you can get it without a prescription. An excellent fix for dry skin is natural vitamin E or d-alpha tocophenol, not the dl-alpha synthetic vitamin E, which is the most widely available kind. You can buy the capsules and puncture them. It works. Olive oil works well too. What you use depends on your preference but all of these work. Triamsinalone and d-alpha tocophenol will work overnight!

I don't ignore it, but I'm completely satisfied with the recommendations for Eucerin. Their Smoothing Repair product has, and continues to work really well. Vitamin E and olive oil tend to leave an oily skin, which I don't really care for.

Thanks for the thought.

The request for established members was just in hopes the frequent spammers would avoid posting. The title seemed like natural spam bait.

blood sugar ok?

No. I've come to accept 220 fasting as pretty good.

I've completely flipped - I shower with water and wash my hair every ten days or so - with water. I admit to cracking out the baby shampoo a couple of times, but the hair is fine with just volumes of warm water (natural oils happen). I have at least three bottles of stuff to spray after shampooing - tried it a couple of times. Without all that, my hair, the long part, is fuzzy-ish right after the wash, which I don't mind, as vanity has flown some time ago and then doesn't seem to need a wash for 10-14 days. No itchiness at all.

This is all a bit radical for me. As some here know, I have close to no sense of smell. I didn't notice anything odd when I was in a few stockyards.
I was the only one left as the classroom fled when there was some 2 mercapto ethanol in the room. (I can smell garlic cooking, thanks be to the nose gods)

My point is, that all my life, I ask others if I smell/stink. By now, it seems not, but I used to be very worried, and made a lot of efforts to be non-smelly, which I couldn't gage.
I was saved from total self horror because my father also had anosmia, so I wasn't entirely weird.

I've had some great colognes as gifts: I liked the bottles.

So - I'm odd on all this, but I'm now a fan of less is more. It's a lot easier.

what she said

Hey, you can get used to anything if you do it long enough. Even hanging.

Then you should do something about possible pre diabetes (which often has a very close relationship to coronary/cerebral events).

You really need to get a specific test done . Its an A1/C blood sugar test.
No joke.
Im not giving med advice that you shouldnt already be familiar with. (I think you already know what a 220 sugar level implies because I think youre under some extened care for your stroke and youve had many blood sugar tests already)

All Im saying is that "Itching skin" can have many fathers,cabron.(no disrespect meant)
