Trying To Be Off From Prednisone And Imuran For Dermayositis Due To Diabetes. Any Topical Creams To Releive Itching?
In two daysI will be totally off the prednisone and Imuran I have been using to treat my dermamyositis for the last 8 monthsl. Recently I am having trouble with my skin itching and was wondering is there topical creams to settle the itching? Muscle enzymes have remained in normal ranges with each decrease in the above medications and since I am a Type I Diabetic my doctor feels it's best to get me off the prednisone.
