Does anyone suffer from itchy skin with bumps appearing on skin as well as white raised lines from where you scratch.. Was wondering if this could be uc related or steroid related .. Scabie cream didn't help

my itchies are food related - no bad food = no itchies !

although i have to say, at the very end of my last flare, EVERYTHING I ATE gave me the itchies - lasted about 10 days, then poof, all gone - hall ay lu ya !

Scratch them a lot. There is nothing topically i can do to help them. I use ice packs when they get bad. Doxepin or benadryl help for a little until its out of your system. I notice some meds and supps give me hives so i avoid those.

Many times it can be UC related, leaky gut related, and sometimes if you cut out dairy and gluten, it can resolve.

Have you tried to cut those out?
