Great news on the scans and labs — that's a real win! But yes, itching can absolutely still happen even when results look good. Lymphoma can trigger your immune system to release chemicals that irritate the skin, causing itching even when the disease appears to be responding well to treatment. Here are some things that may help ease the itching tonight:

- Avoid scratching as much as possible
- Apply a cool compress to your legs
- Moisturize the skin
- Take an oatmeal bath
- Wear soft, loose-fitting clothing
- Use fragrance-free soaps

If the itching is intense, ongoing, or you notice any bumps forming, it's worth mentioning to your doctor at your next visit. They may want to take a closer look to rule out any skin-related causes.
