I’ve read that most itching is on hands and feet, but I’ve been having to want to scratch my face and neck.
I also have a pins and needles feeling in my legs worse with clothes that I’ve been trying not to scratch. I have to make a conscious effort not to scratch.
Does anyone else feel this way?

My scalp is the worst. Feet and hand itch comes and goes. So annoying!!

The itch can drive you mad! Lotions like anti itch with calamine help and lotions with oatmeal help too. It’s a crazy side effect of liver disease.

Hi Faith - I do get itching sometimes and it’s not on my feet but on my ankles and wrist. There are other times that I get itchy on my legs. Sometimes putting lotion and oil helps because I too suffer from dry skin. I also get pins and needles on occasion in my feet and hands, but haven’t found anything that helps relieve the sensation.
