I am being treated with massage and compresion bandaging but my arm is so very itchy. We have tried all kinds of lotion, pwd,etc but still have terrible itching so that I have to removed the bandage 10 hrs after it is put on. Does anyone have any ideas---we live in Fl and it is very hot and I try to always be in air conditioning Thanks

I live in Texas so I know what you mean about the heat. Wish I had some wonderful suggestions for you, but frankly I have never made it any longer than you. My massage therapist has always told me that when it bothers me, take it off and I have taken her at her word.
How long have you been undergoing treatment? I'm still pretty new to all this. Sue0
