Hello Kenzo and thanks for posting

I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis and the itching you are experiencing.

Unfortunately this isn't uncommon with this type of cancer and is often brought on by jaundice itself. Of course without being involved in your direct care I can't say for sure the cause or best management for you but do speak to your own specialist team so they can help you manage this.

There is information about self managing itching here on our website. It includes things such as maintaining good skincare using non perfumed soaps and washing powder and moisturisers to soothe the skin. There is also a section about the different treatments for itching here, your doctors may suggest prescribing medication to help manage the itching depending on the exact cause.

Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

All the best

Naomi
