Itching!!

[Ifeelfat]

I’ve been taking MJ 5ml since January and lost a bit - just under 10kg which I’m happy with.
No real side effects other than a REALLY itchy injection site - to the point where it’s beginning to put me off continuing. I’ve just had 2 weeks off as I was on holiday in 40+ degrees and didn’t want to cope with itching too - I haven’t read any issues with this on this site, is it just me and if not, have you found anything to lessen it. I’ve tried creams and piriton but neither help. Any ideas?

For me switching back to previous suppliers brand of pen needle resolved it

I’ve read others having less of a reaction with slightly longer needles, or taking pen out of fridge for 30 mins before, or taking anti histamines before and the day after.

I have had this randomly. I've been using MJ for 6 months and two of my 2.5mg pens caused it, and then this week doing my fourth injection from a 5mg pen which has been fine until now, suddenly the itchy rash again. A dab of hydrocortisone eases the itch. Doesn't stop it looking like an insect bite thought .

I had this when I went up a dose! I was fine on 2.5, but when I went up to 5 and then 7.5, the itching was unbelievable. It does look like an insect bite, like @raspberrymeringue says. I found that hydrocortisone cream just seemed to aggravate it more. Athlete's foot cream is what works for me. Seems to clear it up within 48 hours.
