It's liver damage that is making your skin itch. Your liver has probably been fucked by your drinking.
Possibly. Not like I have legions though
So you’ve been scanned and all for lesions/cirrhosis? You might not have lesions, but your liver enzymes are probably out of whack..or where out of whack. Did they check those out?
The good news about the liver is that it can heal itself and return to normal as long as you don’t get to a certain point. If you get scarring, that shit won’t heal but you can stop more of your liver from scarring by laying off the booze. But once it gets to a certain point, you have a life and death issue on your hands.
One of my best friends died about 4 years ago. He was only like 37 or 38 and his liver was shot to hell. Booze killed him. It was an agonizing death and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
No scan. My dad had to quit. He's lucky to be alive. Liver repaired. I'm soon to be 35
Yeah this is a real possibility. Of course it could be something as simple as the air is dry and you can simply put lotion on your skin, drink water to keep your skin hydrated. OTOH, if it is caused from liver disease you need to see a doc that can evaluate the health of your liver.
Keep up the good work and achieving sobriety.
