Hives with MDS
My husband is on a clinical trial for MDS which he has been receiving Vidaza which stopped working and is now on his 3rd round of Omacetacine. After having this disease for 3 years with very low blood counts in all 3 areas, this is his first bout with hives. He is on antibiotics twice daily for several months now due to WBC being critical. Does anyone know of any specific creams or lotions that helped the itch. He is taking an Antihistamine as needed.

Ammonium Lactate Lotion
Mary,
I have had a problem with itching (is that similar to hives?) since they suspected me of having MDS. I went through several antihistamines to no avail. The latest thing that was prescribed is Perrigo Ammonium Lactate Lotion 12%. I got it via a prescription but I think you can buy it over the counter. It hasn't eliminated the itching entirely but it has helped. Good luck! Data
