The Itch with PBC
What does the PBC itch feel like for you? Have you found anything that helps manage it?
I have always had itchy skin and can and have itches to raw skin.
It was only after my diagnosis that it made more sense.
I find an antihistamine helps and I use very gentle oat based baby cleansing and moisturising products they really help sooth, moisturising extra thick and well has also really reduced my itch experience.
But sometimes it’s just a case of roughing it out and cool showed as often as possible.The itching is one of those symptoms that can really affect quality of life, so I’m glad you’ve found some things that help. How long did it take you to figure out which products worked best for your skin? -Latoya (Team Member)
Omg I remember when I started itching in 2000 before I was diagnosed with PBC/AIH, I itched my feet to the point of severe bleeding. At that time they were going to do the transplant then but changed their mind. I know what you all are going through and I wish I had the miracle cure for you all 💕
Thanks so much,

Add baking soda to your bath water.
That's interesting. Have you noticed how long the relief from the baking soda bath usually lasts for you? -Latoya (Team Member)
