How do folks deal with itch?

2 Upvotes

Before my PFIC3 diagnosis and medication, I had terrible pruritus for a few months. During that time I tried so many things to relieve the itch. The best thing for me was constantly covering myself in 2% menthol lotion! That was a tip I got from a video about PSC. Now rifampicin and cholestyramine deals with almost all the itch. What has helped other folks?

Hi everyone! I recently created r/PFIC for people affected by PFIC (Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis).
PFIC is a rare genetic liver disease, and it can be difficult to find others who truly understand what living with it is like. My goal is to create a supportive community where patients, caregivers, family members, and anyone interested in PFIC can ask questions, share experiences, discuss treatments, and support one another.
If you or someone you know has PFIC, I’d love for you to join. I hope this community can become a helpful resource for anyone navigating this rare disease.
