Can you get itchy skin from having polymyalgia?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not likely: There is probably some other cause. Be sure to ask your dr about it. You may need only a simple lubricating cream. The Prednisone used for polymyalgia will supress itch from some causes until you get down to 10mg.
