Hi Gal, just wanted to say i've been taking an anti-histamine (piriton) since starting uvb (i've had 7 sessions so far) coz i was going CRAZY with itchy skin everywhere!!, and also bought some of that E45 itch relief cream it's only in a tiny tube but i've been putting it on the itchiest parts only! I mentioned to the lady at the hospital about the itching and she said it was all part of the process and reduced my time for that day. As you said, i hope it's all worth the itching and burning

. I've seen some definate results although my face is taking longer to improve, but hope it helps you too.
