Scleroderma Information » Scleroderma » itchy morphea
Question:
It’s been a long time since I was in your situation but I remember how uncomfortable I was! Baths with sea salt did help relieve it a bit. I think I tried everything on the market from oatmeal to OTC oils and creams! I finally got a RX for Diprolene AF( which is a brand of augmented betamethasone dipropionate* cream 0.05%.) I don’t know what else to recommend. I remember that it was very expensive so perhaps you can get a "trial size" to see if it does any good. Hope this helps a bit. jo nj "L.S.

I don’t know much about Morphea, but I can relate to the itching. I hope you get something to help with it. Doris "L.S. King" <SJK…@mapson.comcast.net> wrote in message

Thanks. Since I see my rheumy tomorrow, I’ll ask if he has any suggestions and if he think antihistimines would help. He knows more about morphea than the dermatologist I saw. ~L "Amelia Yaussy" <am…@blackmule.com> wrote in message

It looks like this ng is about dead, but I know no other place to rant, so consider this a rant for anyone who can sympathize. The morphea is spreading on my legs and itching so bad I cannot *stand* it!! ~L

I don’t know about Morphea, but I do know some folks with systemic scleroderma get relief from antihistimines. Check with your doc to see which one is best for you.

I haven’t been give that prescription (Diprolene AF) yet, but every OTC lotion, cream, and oil makes it worse. Soap is a culprit too. I finally began making my own soaps, salves, butter bars, etc. and they help. But I haven’t had it this bad in a loooong time. I go see my rheumy tomorrow, I’ll ask about the Diprolene AF.
