 Depending on which meds you are taking and presence of other medical conditions (such as ezcema or seborrhea), some symptom relief can often be offered while sorting out the cause of the night time itching. The timing certainly is suspicious for it being related to one of your HIV meds or early immune reconstitution so would discuss with your HIV provider. KH | ||||||||
