I take pain medication and my reaction to this is extreme itching. Can you suggest a good cream to use?

I have tried Gold Bond Medicated Cream which just works OK..any suggestions would be apperciated..Thanks|||It totally depends on the kind of itch you have and what your symptoms are. Is it a rash? Bumps? Little blisters? Where is the itch?





If your itch is extreme I would do the following:





1st: Make an appt. to see a dermatologist and tell him (or your doctor) about the side effects of your meds. They should be able to perscribe a perscription strength hydrocortisone cream.





2nd: Hydrocortisones are one topical that will ease your itching, but it%26#039;s not the only thing, and it doesn%26#039;t stop all itches.


There are also steroid cremes that aren%26#039;t like real steroids- but they have real itch stopping strength.





Clobetesol Propionate is one such itch stopper. It%26#039;s awesome and stops itch on contact. But again, more info. is needed about the nature of the itch and where it is/what it looks like on the skin.





Good luck,


Hope this was a best answer for you!!|||you%26#039;re probably allergic to the meds. that%26#039;s usually a good sign. tell your doc. you may need a different brand of pain meds.|||I would suggest asking your local pharmacist and contacting your doctor for assistance. Your condition could worsen and it should be looked at by a medical professional.|||hydrocortisone works great or calydryl theres something in opiates that causes itching because it used to do that to me|||bacatracian, aveno, calamine, etc.|||What it sounds like is an allergic reaction.





Take some Benadryl!


trust me, it works!
