Itchy skin

So for the past 2-3 months I have been having problems with itching across the abdomen and the baggy skin of both upper arms. No rash, just itching despite anything I have tried. Has anyone else encountered this post sleeve?

    It can be a symptom of pruritis, which can be caused by your liver making more bile than you need. It could also be an allergy. Or just a skin problem. Speak to your doctor about it.

    OMG Lark, I've been dying!

    I have found 2 things that have saved me. (I woke up with bloody legs one morning from scratching in my sleep).

    1) Olive oil. Take it to the shower or bath with you and slather it on. Rinse it off, don't wash with soap

    2) Cover it all in a thick layer of Sarna.
