Quick, get me some sand paper!

There have been several times that I have gone to the doctor with this very same thing. Each time to be diagnosed with Contact Dermatitis. I think thats just a word they use when someone on your derma isn't right, and they haven't got a clue. I've been given a cream and usually advised to take some Benadril to get it out. To this day I have no clue what I did to get this. The doctors that I visited often asked me if I had switched laundry detergents or were exposed to chemical of any sort that were out of the ordinary. Something my mother used to have me do is take a bath with epsom salts to help relieve itching. You may have to do this a few times and try not to make the water too hot. You may irritate your already irritated skin. Also, a hydrocortisone cream from over the counter should help. I don't envy you at this point, so I really hope you are feeling better soon! Oh yeah, try not to itch, but I think we all know this by now. :)

Thank you both for your recommendation.

Instead of epsom salt, I normally use Baking sode or oatmeal in a sock. Work equally well (or not so well on some days).

Since I have a lot of food allergies, I have experienced a lot of hives and itchiness but when I KNOW I didn't eat anything out of sorts and I haven't been rolling in the grass and I still itch like this, it's enough to send me to the loonybin! Now why I didn't think of taking Benadryl anyway is beyond me... stupid-brain again I suppose!

Hopping over (LOL too funny; me hopping... yeah ok!) to the kitchen for some Benadryl
