[quote=Anonymous]Is he on any medications that could cause him to itch? My DS had OCD, which took a turn for the worse. The doctor upped the SSRI he was taking and he began itching. The doctor was dismissive that it could be a side effect of the SSRI, said it was just part of his "condition." (Itching though was listed as a rare side effect). It was awful--he itched so hard it bled, forming scabs that still itched so he itched some more. The first day of summer camp they called me and said they wouldn't let him swim because he had a skin disorder. His legs and arms made him look like Damien the Leper. I got him off the SSRIs eventually, and actually took him to a spa with mineral waters for a few days followed by lots of swimming and plenty of sun and finally the cycle stopped and everything began to heal. It was miserable.[/quote]
