I used Aveeno lotion before bedtime. It helps a lot for me. At times I would get up and take a shower, that would help me get back to sleep.

Hi Cheryl. I developed intermittent itchy skin on completion of RCHOP, about 3 month after I finished treatment. Had a few doses of oral steroids which solved the issue for a while. Saw a Dermatologist last week who prescribed strong antihistamines....a slight improvement to date but itch still present. Itch moves from area to area on my body.... Wakes me up at night and is most annoying. I'll see how the current treatment goes but of note is that I never had skin issues prior to chemo...
