Re: Itching!!!

For the last year I have faced an itching problem too. I have tried all the lotions and potions and even prescription stuff. It does little to help. I went to a dermatologist and he said to take over the counter Loratadine 10 mg twice a day. It's for allergies and works pretty good to help my itching. You can get it at Walmart or Costco in the genetic brands fairly cheap too. Try it out and see if it helps.

Best wishes to you and I'll be praying for you. (((Hugs)))
