Robert-
Sorry to hear of your experience with the itching. I have had it severely from the lymphoma. It’s caused by the immune system releasing chemicals to fight the lymphoma cells and can cause the nerves to be irritated and swell and itch. It’s maddening! I know this first hand! I was only able to get relief from triaciclone 0.5%. Prescribed to me by a dermatologist that my oncologist referred. It s miracle ointment. I only had to use it once and I had huge improvement. It has since went away and I have a little bit of itching on my scalp and back. I had it on my entire body. I think I have used it twice now and it’s still working great. I must tell you I was so bad with itching and swelling that I was unable to walk I had hit the end and told my doctor that I had to get some kind of relief I couldn’t take it anymore. The dermatologist was wonderful and very knowledgeable about lymphoma related itching and a lot of other issues related to lymphoma. I hope this helps you out and you feel better soon. Please tell your doctor and let them know about the triamiclone and save yourself a trip to the dermatologist if you feel comfortable with that. Take care
Wishing you well
Michelle

I take salt water showers from head to toe. Also rinse out my mouth 2-3 times aday. One quarter cup to one half gallon of water. I use to swim in the ocean and it relieved everything from acne to poison ivy, even some rashes and itching that was not identified . Try it what do you have to loose, an itch here and there.

I take xyzol for itching.
I started having severe itching and my oncologist prescribed Zyrtec. The itching, red plaques under my eye, burning lips and severe dry nose all went away and I still take it every day
