Does Anyone Else Have Skin Sensitivity With Fibro?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­

I have begun to be extra sensitive this past year. My skin stings and/or has the pins & needles feeling. My skin feels like it is so dry it will crack but it’s really not dry. I am wondering if there are any medications which might help this aspect.

Yes I have skin sensitivity when I have a bad flare- clothes bother my skin and even hugs. Usually last 48 hours and unfortunately I haven’t found anything that works except rest and loose clothing. Wish I was more helpful. Have a stress free dayπŸ–

Oh yes.. many of us have skin sensitivity. Have to wear soft looser clothes. Mine is under the skin, the nerve endings, my skin isn’t dry. In the evening I take a 1/2 Benedryl and it helps a lot.

I can relate. The only thing Ive found that helps is very loose clothing. The seams of the clothes is a big thing for me too. And I moisturize regularly as slightly dry skin to me triggers severe irritation and itching.

Yes, mine has increased considerably.
