OMG the past few days it's been driving me crazy. The weight loss is fantastic and I feel great apart from my itchy skin on my hips and tummy. I've been using Palmers Firming lotion to help with the skin wrinkling, and I've had to use Benadryl gel for the itch but I only get about an hour of relief.

Anyone else suffering? Any advice?

    You might be allergic to some of the ingrediants. If you have airborn allergies or food allergies to any of the ingrediants in the cream that will be the culprit. Stop using the cream.

    Thanks, I'll look into it. My hubby said that when he lost 45lbs his stomach itched cos the stretched skin was shrinking. I mean that's the obvious one, but I just wondered if anyone else out there had experienced this also?

    I lost almost 3 stone over a year or so and the itching was a factor that I noticed too. Absolutely no idea why.

    Whenever I'm losing well, I itch too. Sometimes I get hives. I think it's toxins stored in the fat cells that are being released, as well as the skin issue.

    I break out in hives every time I start dieting! Usually under my arms and around my boobs, but I was also eating only 1200 cals those times. I decided to try it again with uping my cal intake and so far no hives! I can also tell you something thats weird but I swear it works and if your itching you will try anything to stop it so do what I do for all bites or hives that causes me to itch and put deodorant on it. The stick kind, you wont itch for hours!
