I have been on kessar 20mg for breast cancer since 2012. my scalp is itching like crazy as well as the skin around my waist, my armpits and lower legs. i was wondering if the tamoxifen could be the cause and what can i use to soothe the itching. ?

Unlikely: that tamoxifen is the cause, can be a separate issue, fungal infection can be a cause, see a dermatologist, best wishes
