My arms are SO itchy as well. I notice it when I have hot flashes (from Tamoxifin) but other times as well. The only thing that has helped so far is cold packs and Tiger Balm. Apparently the "cold sensation" you feel from these over rides the "itching" feeling that the nerves are experiencing.

If any one else has any other advice, I'd love it.
