  • Hi Nicci77,

    A very warm welcome to the forum.

    There are so many different creams that can help itching. Some will work for certain people, but not others. Please get your friend to phone her specialist nurse or advice. She may need to leave a message and the nurse will phone her back as soon as she can. She should have experience of what cream helps when a patient has problems like this. Don't be afraid to keep returning, until you find a solution.

    Please keep in touch and let us know when she finds something that helps.

    We are always here for both of you.

    Kind regards,
