Fibromyalgia Itch And Rash Treatment
There are many ways to relieve fibromyalgia itch and rash. However, there is no winning treatment that works for every person. Here are some ways to alleviate fibromyalgia itch and rash:
- The most basic self care treatment for fibrmyalgia itch and rashes involves the application of creams and moisturizers. These products can help to sooth the skin and reduce itchiness and dryness. There are also medicated lotions available that can help to treat skin rashes.
- Skin spots or mottled skin with different tone or color can be treated with ultraviolet lights or bleaching products.
- Some patients found that over-the-counter antihistamines help to alleviate their itch.
- Over-the-counter pain medication acetaminophen (Tylenol) may relieve inflamed nerves which are causing the itch.
- Over-the-counter hydrocortisone may also help to provide temporary relief.
- Meditation helps to concentrate the mind and takes your focus away from the itching. Although it will not exactly stop the itching, it could provide temporal relief.
If you believe that your fibromyalgia is causing itch or rashes to develop on your skin, talk to your doctor for appropriate treatment.

Thank you for this informative article. I’ve learned a lot form your emails.
I’ve noticed that when I am in a FM flare that I itch. It’s uncontrollable at times.
I also have Systemic Lupus (the ‘attack your organs’ kind, just diagnosed this summer ). My symptoms cause it difficult to decipher if it is FM or the Lupus flaring. They can be quite similar.
Perhaps you can do an article on the differences?
Same here, Maureen. I have RX “FLUOCINOLONE ACETONIDE TOPICAL OIL 0.01%” that really helps. It’s called Scalp Oil, but it’s working on all my itches, thank goodness! Because my “ITCHES ARE PAINFUL ITCHES.” My Accupuncturist said that these itches are really an “Alternate Manifestation of Pain” as the body is recognizing Something a little differently, and the symptom is “Itch,” or in my case, “Itchy Pain … Or, Painful Itch.”
It seems my days are full of New Issues all the time.
As Forest Gump said, “Like a box of chocolates — You never know what you’re gonna get!”
The two things that save me is Prayer & hubby’s support! Sometimes, as a human — he gets weary with my illness, though, and I certainly understand that — So do I! But, on the other end of my Covenant Prayers, YHWH always comes through!!!
I get chronic itching in my scalp also sometimes my whole body itches. I have had firbromyalgia for many years and get very tired and fatigued. Wish it would’ve led go away.
I really like the input of other people w the same issues. I never knew were so many other thing attributed to Fibromylgia?? My skin itches but hurts to itch it. N i have hair loss?? Is that part of Fibrmyalgia???
Me to I’m having the same issues and also losing my hair hmmmm
As well as Fybro I have many other problems, one of them is psoriasis. I have it on most parts of my body including my scalp. Benovate lotion from the doctor is excellent but only on the scalp. I also have the ‘itch’ all over and especially during the night and that is awful to cope with as you scratch one place it moves to somewhere else and on and on. The only relief I get is from Cool Spray or roll on but the spray is better and available without prescription but is well worth the £3 or £4 in any Chemist or drugstore.
Your mail sounds just like me, except for the psoriasis. I can scratch one place and a second later somewhere else itches, and on and on. Like you, especially in bed. I have tablets which do help but I already take loads of tablets for everything else, including steroids for my fibromyalgia.
I also get very, very tired and lethargic. Any tips.
For the cool spray what is the name of it the Brand?
Thank you for your article I found it so informative. I suffer terribly with itching it feels like my skin is crawling. The doctor gave me steroidal cream but it doesn’t help anymore.
My fibromyalgia going crazy Pains up my back out shoulders and neck Arrgh drive Ye nuts No sleep and itching Its a debilitating condition
I alway have itch!!!! More at resting did not k es it was from my fybro. Thanks for the information!
