Carmella Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I have had diffuse scleroderma for 19 months and I was wondering at what point will my skin on my arms stop irritating me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joelf Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Hi Carmella, I'm sorry to hear that you're suffering with unpleasant irritation on your skin and I've included a link to our medical pages on diffuse scleroderma, Skin Involvement and Itching (Pruritus), which I hope you'll find useful. Kind regards, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mary Sara Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Carmella, hi sorry you are experiencing this. Not a doctor, but had lower arm itching for about a year with thickness. Doctors at the time didn't think it was related , went to a dermatologist. Treatment not successful with script cream and allergy meds. This was pre diagnosis of CREST but being monitored for some kind of autoimmune. Once on methotrexate for severe joint pain fatigue etc all symptoms improved including skin. So was my skin irritation itching related? Looking back I think so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
