Months before my son was diagnosed with Hodgkins he had very sensitive and itchy skin. He never had a rash. When he would scratch himself his skin would raise up and be red for a long time.The itchyness was all over but he said it felt like it came from within. His palms would itch. Little did I know this was a sign of what was to come. I thought he was taking too hot of a shower or soaking in the tub too long, so I was always on the lookout for a better body lotion. I think they mention Lymphoma as a risk with using Elidel which is being prescribed for eczema.I think if you have no other symptoms, I would just keep doing what you are doing and hope for nice weather.

What type of lymphoma does your son have Jana? I hope he is completely cured. I only have itchiness sometimes. It's not a constant itch. It may just be the "winter itch". It has been extremely cold this winter.
