Members shared widespread experiences with scalp and body itching related to their condition, with several describing how the itching improved over time on Ursodiol, though one member needed additional medication like Colesevelam for pruritus despite uncomfortable side effects. Many members described itching that extended beyond the scalp to include their backs, legs, arms, and feet, often accompanied by painful sores, visible cholesterol deposits under the skin, and scarring that caused embarrassment and distress. A recurring theme was the relief of finally connecting mysterious symptoms like chronic itching to their diagnosis, with members offering support and practical suggestions such as trying over-the-counter products like Amlactin Cool Relief.

Thank you for asking that question!! I never realized that the itching on my scalp could be due to something!!! I attributed all of my symptoms to dry skin.
