I'm with the rest of the crowd as far as diet is concerned, I think you will be flogging a dead horse - but - I have noticed on a few occasions particularly with beer my itchiness quotent goes up by an order of magnitude.
40% is an awful lot to cope with and personally I think it borders on cruelty that they sent you home with creams .

As Jim has said they will probably want to put you through the UV route first, it can be quite successful on some people, give it a go, but with that amount I would be thinking at looking into the oral treatments, do your homework and go to your next dermy appointment armed with some questions and a couple of ideas on how you want treating. I have always foundit better to go with a partner / friend or even a parent if it came to it . I dont know why but they seem to take a bit more notice of what you have to say when there is sombody else in the picture.

Anyways most of us are tame and house trained so feel free to join us in the Off Topic section for a chat or a giggle
