Ok, mine never itched before but the other day I got this bright idea to really scrub my arms to open up the bumps so that the meds could get to them better….and well I am more broken out now (actually have new bumps from that) and now they itch. So I am guessing that maybe some of the people who the itching problem have just irritated them. Not sure if it is in the healing process that is making it do it or if I just have it so irritated.

KP itself does not itch, but it is a condition that is often associated with dry skin, which can itch and be very uncomfortable.

I had that same problem where is was incredibly itchy and when I scratched I would just make it worse, and even bleed. My dermatologist gave me Lamisil ( yes the stuff for foot fungus) because she said it was a bacteria that had just built up. They're are pills and it didnt cost me anything - she gave me a few samples. I took only a few days and the itching was gone.
