Hi Kev, not much I can add to what's already been said. I've found shampoos that help briefly, but it's a temporary fix and by temporary I mean you get a little relief before the itching starts right back up again (or that's how it was for me). I would feel a bit better for an hour or so but then it was back to square one.
I took Acitretin and UV treatments until mostly cleared. Now, I'm using topicals and crossing fingers to be honest. Basically I'm now trying to stay on top of the symptoms (with doctor approval) but we'll see how it all goes. I think this is the right way for me to go as I want to do the minimum needed for me that is necessary to live with this, but I won't hesitate to get back on meds if and when needed. We are all different so different treatments and different hoops to jump through to get those treatments.
I'm not familiar with your healthcare (being in the US) but agree with others, demand to be seen by someone who can make a difference!
Best of luck!
