Itching

I'd like to know where everyone itches. Especially females.

    1. I started itching 1 and 1/2 years ago on my upper arms, specifically left.. no rash at first, then my legs and scalp. Went to several doctors. I am now losing my hair due to scalp rash. Blood bank informed me i was hep c reactive, just had a hep c test done yesterday and waiting for results

      1. So sorry to hear this ishinega13! How frustrating and scary! Please keep us posted on what's going on! We're thinking of you, and sending positive thoughts your way! -Casey, HepatitisC.net Team

    2. Thank s everyone. I am now laying in a hospital bed with a new liver. The testing done showed cancer but all is clear now. I had my surgery done Thursday and numbers are good and continue to improve. I hope sharing this can give someone hope. Do not give up or lose hope.

      Thank you for your letter as it explains it perfectly. I read it about 20 times!! Lol
