Just a few remarks from an article entitled
“Itching” More Than Skin-Deep”
by Denise Grady
that appeared in the February 17, 2014 New York Times
“millions of people suffer from itching…”
“the unending misery caused by chronic itching – the kind that won’t go away, that torments people night and day and very often resists remedies like antihistamines and cortisone cream.”
“But antihistamines are often no help to people with chronic itching…” “Chronic itching becomes more common with age.”
