Scratch them off and they really bleed. I'm having a terrible summer. Anyone else?

I had scally raise spots that appeared all over my body. They would sting and itch. If I scratched the tops came off and they made little sores.

I can’t believe how much one of my sores bled the other night - dripping blood n the floor! Horrifying, humiliating and embarrassing as well as very painful. The desire to scratch was so overwhelming though. Just waiting for my first dermatology appointment. Surely if they can just give me something to stop the itch then I wouldn’t scratch and wouldn’t bleed 🤦🏼‍♀️😭

Thanks, Marc! Pn sure does attack from in. No mercy!

Georgia, are you taking NAC and/or Allegra? I would suggest adding NAC and see how it helps with the itch and consider adding Allegra later for more relief if needed. I find multiple layers of internal protection are necessary against this monster.

I'm here with you. My PN is mainly on my arms and from advice of others I'm back to using capsaicin every night and then wear sleeves to cover up and keep me from scratching and touching the lotion. It took a little time but I found with the consistency I'm have less itch.
