Very itchy skin, not dry just really itchy. doc gave me steroid creme but hasn't worked for months. also had period 2 wks early. never happened before?

See dermatologist.: If the steroid cream has not worked for months, you need to stop it. Steroids have significant side effects and it makes no sense to take that risk for no benefit. I suggest you see a dermatologist as soon as possible.
