I am a 61 year old male with angina and C.O.P.D. quit ciggies 65 days ago and am 'smoke free' also started going to gym regularly. Have had itchy scalp for three weeks, doc prescribed betnovate scalp application + mometasone furoate cream + nizoral shampoo = CRAP second opinion doc prescribed 'sporanox' (itraconazole) 100mg one per day for 15 days. still on them day 2 today. Scalp and face itching and driving me crazy, was army medic in 1968 and army docs would have sorted in a few days, 100% better than civilian quacks. Any suggestions to stop itching greatly appreciated,
Thanks in advance,
Bob

My wife had palmer planter psoriasis, ried every horrible steroid and medicaiton under the sun- clearedf with days when she sued Manuka honey on it like a salve, and alternated with holland and Barratt aloe gel, but psoriasis is an incurable and funny thing, better to find what triggered it- bet it was stress.
Final update:- In desperation I visited a chinese herbalist (also qualified western doctor) because I couldn't spend another night trying to sleep through intolerable itching. She gave me one of the most thorough examinations I have ever experienced. She exlained that I had exzema, not psoriasis, and was not caused by stress. She explained that since I quit ciggies, and have developed an exercise/swimming regime, my body is reacting by 'cleansing itself of toxins' hence exzema. She advised me to carry on with the doctor's tablets, to allow time for them to work, and also gave me a pot of herbal anti - itching cream, (huang lian gao) advised me to keep an eye on my diet, and consume plenty of water. The total cost of this consultation including cream? The gran sum of £4-00. I gave her a fiver gladly. She had my shirt off and looked at chest and back, checked pulse, examined scalp, back of neck etc., My own g.p couldn't be bothered to get up of his arse and look in my hair. No wonder this country is being overtaken by eastern countries such as China and Japan.
