Yeah, I've noticed. After a 6 month break from kava last year, I tried some "old roots" from FVK. Very potent, apparently older kava is, but I got quite itchy. I don't think it was dermopathy as I wasn't red but it was similar.
It's very hit or miss whether or not kava can make me itchy, but Loa Waka micronized in particular makes me itchier than any of the other micronized kavas, and sometimes just my Lewena from FVK, 20g or so I'll feel a bit itchy sometimes.
Last year I had real dermopathy, with red skin and all that, but now I'm only ever itchy if I've taken it. I don't think I'm allergic, I've spilled some on my skin plenty of times and had no reaction. I saw a reddit post of someone who'd done the same thing and they looked like they were having a niacin flush. Just so incredibly red. I wonder if regular niacin flushes actually protect my skin from it, somehow?
