They have meds for itch and good creams. Ask doctor. I just use lotion.right now. But I learned a few things from my facebook PBC groups I joined.

Thank you. Lotions do not help for long so take claratin which does seem to help. Think I will try coconut oil

You can get a lotion applicator from Amazon that is made to reach your back area for when you don't have help. Run a humidifier to keep moisture in the air of your house. Especially with the heat on during the winter. My doctor prescribed something for the itching. Works great! Only use unscented lotions. A shower oil is helpful. Apply after shower and then layer your lotion on top. Vani-cream is my lifesaver!
