Balnium plus is really good for itchy skin. Has urea in which helps soothe the irritation. Hope it helps.
Try acupressure, it helped me stop being itchy. Also don't take long hot showers, no perfume soaps.
Has she tried going gluten free? It has helped reduce my syptoms.
Hi Brett
I suffered for 8 years before getting a proper diagnosis. Eventually diagnosed with PLC. Initially the doctor put me on antibiotics and the UV light therapy. Antibiotics helped but I saw no improvement with the UV therapy so I stopped it. Currently the doctor prescribed Dovate 20mg in Epimax cream and Prednisone for inflammation. Cream mixture really minimizes the break outs and with the itch.
