I am a carer for my 94yr old mother along with a full time job. Luckliy mum is fsirly
Compliant with most things and we have carers coming in. But the hardest thing to deal with is her itchy back!
she is constantly calling/asking for it to be scratched and it is driving us both to tears. I have tried antihistamines, various creams both from the GP and over the counter, cooling gels, calamine lotion and nothing works! She can be distracted with puddings or chocolate but it is very short lived.
Does anyone else have this problem to deal with? Any ideas?
thanks
