[QUOTE="Montana, post: 373007, member: 51465"] [b]Itching not to scratch[/b] Hi to all those that have unexplained itching of the skin. I'm T2 and often itch like crazy. I've been on meds only since Sep 2012 but diagnosed 2003 and I've only had huge problem since diagnosis so I can only guess it might be diabetes related. Sometimes my skin bleeds when scratching is driving me nuts. If I can halt it before it gets so bad I use these methods. If its small area I use Savlon antiseptic cream but if it starts up in other places I use an antihistamine like Chlorphenamine tablets. They work a treat when used as prescribed(please check out with your gp first). Hope this helps :D [/QUOTE]
