A common complaint. With PV we produce excess histamine and MAST cells. Try an OTC H2 blocker once a day such as Zantac or Pepcid, usually the 75 mg dose works. Interferon works for many with severe pruritus (itching.) Our MPD list www.mpdsupport.org has an anti-itch page that may help in our support files www.bit.ly/ourmpdfiles.
