General & Family Physician 's  Response
hello and thank you for aksing HCM,

I understand your concern. Itching is one of the most common symptoms in psoriasis. It appears since your rheumatologist took you off of therapy, what caused reactivating of the disease.
Try to take a daily soak but with a mild soap and moisturize your skin after bathing.
This will help you to reduce itching until your doctor returns back your therapy.

I hope this answer was shepful to you.
