I want to claw my skin off my hands and it was feet now it's ankles and hands.

Using cortisone cream, benadryl cream, benadryl tablets nothing.

I hate it!! Makes me want to come out of my skin!!!!

Not sure if I hate the diarrhea or itching more but both seem so simple yet driving me insane!!!

Any suggestions? I will take any and all I can get. I appreciate how helpful you all are! Can't wait to be past chemo and maybe I can offer advice instead of always asking something.
