I itch!!!!! I ve tried a lot of creams and other lotions, but they don t often help. I also have brittle, short nails. What about that? Would it be OK to take calcium? you d make my life happy if you could help me not itch! Thanks in advance. June Chapman NO, but thanks. I have to use someone who accepts insurance. I ve asked so many, I don t think you could do better or could you?
