Hi
I am posting on behalf of my dad he developed p about 10 years ago flares up on and off but since just before Christmas and a heavy cold it's the worse it's been. He is using all the creams baths etc but it's the itching that's getting him down - what does people use to calm the itching ?
Thanks

Hi
Just logged on for first time, I have only been plagued by the itch and flaking for the past three years. I have tried all sorts of shampoos and nothing has worked.clearing out a cupboard 2 weeks ago I came across a bottle of Penang Nutmeg Oil. The directions on back of bottle says it is good for itchiness,lumbago,arthritis so I used it on my itchy head and it appears to be clearing the flaking skin and it is not itching at the moment.
I hope this may help as Nutmeg Oil seems to work for me
Regards

I use Dead Sea salt by westlab I use it in the bath and I find it soothes my skin. I have also tried porridge in tights and placing that in the bath which I find also soothes. I really rate aveeno for cream and also coconut oil is great so putting on the skin. Hope the itching stops its awful when you are so itchy
