Posted on Thu, 3 Dec 2015

Question: HI. I have noticed lately that in my groin area the skin is extremely itchy and turning a greyish color. I should also mention that I have a kidney disease whereas my kidneys are only functioning less than 15%. IS there something I can buy over the counter to reverse this process?

No over the counter to reverse this process.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome to HCM. Sorry about your issue. Are you on dialysis? You seen to relay maybe uremia/ which means you are retaining more ammonia in your body and causing you to itch. Have you talked to your primary or kidney doctor of late? Please note that you need to have lab work done to better help this symptoms. Please visit with a local doctor for that groin area to be examined. I hope this helps.
