What Causes Itchy Wrists And Flaky Skin On Hands While On Champix?
Hi I was on champix to quit smoking and since, every once in awhile I have times where my knuckles become soo itchy...especially on my right hand. Then my hand breaks out and cracks. This episode however has been going on since Christmas. Been to many doctors. They just prescribe cortisone tablets and cotisone cream. sometimes works to heal others not so much. I would like to know what is causing it, any idea?
Hello dear from my opinion I am suggesting that you may be developing some form of allergic reaction to nicotine which is a content of cigarettes so continue your medication prescribed by your physician
