I am a 49 years old male. I have recently been experiencing severe itching below my hip especially the butt region, lower spine, sides of the thigh, knee and towards the sides of the ankles. Am a diabetic for the last 6 years and have been on statins for more than 10 years now along with bp medication. Have seen a dermatologist a week back but the treatment is not effective. Pls. Advise.
