I got a shower head with a filter in it. Stopped itching after the first use. Worth a try.
How can you manage constant itching with lupus and Sjögren's disease?
Itching with lupus can be incredibly frustrating, but there are several approaches that might help. Since you also have Sjögren's disease, which affects about 10-17% of people with lupus, addressing both conditions together is important.

Cool Oil showers can help. I used baby oil and my hands to wash myself.
Rinse, and apply more baby oil or mineral oil for hydration. Palmers
hydrocortisone ointment, or cocoa butter helped mine the best. Palmers has
a coconut oil shampoo or baby shampoo. a, z pack will help as well
In the winter, dry skin makes our itching worse. Shorter, cooler showers and applying soap only to the armpits and groin both help, and dermatologists recommend these measures.
Thank you each and every one for answering💜I had another attack yesterday, thanks heavens I fell asleep eventually, but I will address this matter with my PCP next week. I will try organic baby products, that's a good idea. I started sorting out clothing with spandex because I know for sure that causes massive itching attacks. I can tolerate organic cotton but it's not keeping me warm enough, I've been freezing a lot. I still don't understand why I wasn't placed in ICU and fed when I was even skinnier than now, Drs claim I look better now, but my friends and family say I look sickly, like an 11 year old girl from the 80's. I have to gain weight, do you have any ideas? I don't like the German equivalent of Ensure.. .....😞
