Is Itching On The Neck And Shoulders Be Due To Creatine Orotate Supplement?

I recently started taking creatine orotate (about 3g daily), as part of my workout supplements. I have started to get intense itching on my neck, shoulders and nape. But there is no rash or bumps or redness. I can t think of anything else i have changed in my diet. Also, I have checked my bed for bugs (just to make sure) and I havent changed detergents, soaps, lotions, etc. Is this a common side effect of creatine orotate?

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your case history, you are having allergic dermatitis. My treatment advice is :

1. Avoid using any new products like soap or perfume.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic plus steroid cream like fusiderm-b cream twice daily on it.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetirizine twice daily for 7-10 days.

If the problem persists then consult a dermatologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harshit Bhachech
