A few tips when looking for a CBD cream:
- Look for products containing cannabidiol (CBD) as an active ingredient
- Some creams combine CBD with other soothing ingredients like arnica
- Your dermatologist can point you toward reputable brands worth trying
- In most states, CBD creams are available without a prescription On Nemluvio (nemolizumab):
Nemluvio has shown some really promising results! It was FDA-approved in 2024 and works by blocking a molecule called IL-31, which triggers itch and inflammation.
Here's what the clinical data shows:
- 58% of participants experienced significant itch relief after 16 weeks
- ~31% achieved near-total or total skin clearance after 24 weeks
- A two-year study showed 90% sustained itch relief with no new safety concerns
It's given as an injection once every four weeks. Definitely worth a conversation with your dermatologist to see if it could be a good fit for you!
