Yes, Linda, down to the bone. I scratch it so badly that sometimes it will
bleed and then bruise. I've just learned from others that hot water isn't
good to shower. I don't use hot water anymore. I now know not to put my
legs next to a heater in the winter. That will set off itching too.
So far, I've not had itching in my legs or arms.
Another place I itch all the time, and it never goes way, is the back of my
left shoulder. Just that area. I'm always scratching it but it doesn't itch
to the bone.
I'm more tired now too.
I hope you have better days.
We have to watch what we do or eat that may trigger the itching.
Yes, Debbie. I have the same problem with itching in my legs and arms and
especially my left shoulder and scalp.
The itch is so deep. I get bruises and bleeding also
But, I discovered on the forum listening to others that heat makes it
worse. Hot showers too.
I'm getting more tired now.im so glad you responded to me.
TY
Thank u for your reply.
I never knew so many people had PBC
Do you experience deep, intense itching in your legs and arms that leads to bruising from scratching?
You're definitely not alone in this struggle. Many people with PBC experience severe itching that feels unbearable, and bruising from scratching is a real concern that others share.
