Finally Stopped the Itching!!

Steve was going out of his mind from the itching.  He said he felt like something was crawling all over him.  It got so bad that he wasn't sleeping at all. He just wanted to jump out of his skin.  The medication that our primary care physician prescribed ( Hydroxyzine HCL 25mg and Triamcinolone 0.1% Cream FOU) wasn't working at all. 

So Monday I called a dermatologist, and they were nice enough to get Steve in the same day.  The dermatologist prescribed Clobetasol Propionate Foam, 0.05%.  The first night he used it my husband was able to sleep, and it has been working ever since.  He itched a little here and there the first few days but nothing like before.  He isn't itching at all anymore.  He uses the foam twice a day (in the morning and before he goes to sleep).
