Can Body Itching, Low Blood Counts With An Enlarged Spleen Be Treated?
i have intense itching with no rash-bad enough to keep me up at night. Seems like I have had this itching for months and it just keeps getting worse-driving me crazy. My blood counts are very low-not critical the doctors tell me. The dermatologist tells me the itching is from something internal. I just found out that I have an enlarged spleen. I am seeing a hematologist about my blood counts. He wants to do a bone marrow test. My biggest concern right now is the itching, it is affecting my sleep and my work. I am exhausted all the time. What treatment do you suggest.
Hi. The itching could be noted in anemic patients and it responds to correction of hemoglobin level. Meanwhile, take a sedating antihistamine like hydroxyzine and apply soothing lotion like venusia soft lotion twice daily. Hope it helps.
