It didn't any good on my nipple either. Very odd. I've been so desperate I even tried yeast infection cream, alcohol, witch hazel, that pink liquid stuff for itching, forgot the name of it.... I've tried just about everything I could think of, but no relief. Very odd, right? My arachnoid cyst is from T3-T8, but my suspicion is that the itching is from my cervical compression of my spine--- does that sound like a possibility?
Blackberrybunny, you might be interested in research done by Dr. Ann Louise Oaklander regarding neuropathic itch. *admin edit* I have several perineural cysts extending from from T12 Through my lumbar spine and sacrum, and I have itching with no known cause (and no rash). Wishing you well, Kath
