I posted a few weeks ago that my face had got incredibly itchy. Someone suggested milk thistle so I've been taking that and it has controlled it a lot, itching hasn;t stopped but it's not unbearable....until yesterday. My neck started to really itch and when I looked in the mirror it was all red with raised blotchy patches. My initial thought was a new shirt I'd been wearing so I took it off and put anti-histamine on which seemed to calm it a little. Today it is still itchy sore and blotchy. Any ideas anyone please?
Hello janehj. I found taking magnesium cured my itching by chance. I started taking calcium supplements which also contained magnesium and read something on one of these forums about magnesium helping itching in the menopause and realised mine had almost completely stopped.
Thank you Matron, I already take chelated Magnesium so may look for Calcium too
Definitely worth a try. I used to be so itchy and blotchy at times I had trouble sleeping. Now it's hardly noticeable. 😀
