Anyone else have itching with Nystatin? I notice that when I take it I will itch on my fingers and toes. It's intermittent, but it's still obnoxious. I tested a day without, and no itching. Have talked to LLMD and they weren't sure it was related.

I have itching on face, arms, hands and legs but that started before starting on Nystatin. I think the head is the worse, for me, for itching.

My LLMD said that the TBI's are close to my skin.

I've been itching for several years before I was diagnosed.

Don't think Nystatin has any effect on my itching problems.

Could be a yeast herx.

Itching of the scalp is a big yeast signal for me.

I have no signs of yeast but it's a good suggestion.

I also just saw on LymeMD's blog that there was info at the conference that suggests that treating for Bart can cause itching. I've been on abx for Bart, so that could be it as well.

What about the inactive ingredients in it such as food colors, additives, binders, fillers, etc.? I know I've reacted to those in the past with itching.

Sometimes switching brands has helped. Hope it gets better for you!
