Hi all
Does anyone else experience severe scratching of an itch? I just don’t care if I break the skin and scratch myself raw, I just can’t stand having an itch on my hands, wrists, ankles, top of foot, calf and upper arm area and can’t leave it alone till it feels gone, even if I break the skin in the process. I frequently have lesions in various states of healing in those places which looks a bit unsightly but they eventually scab over. It’s not purposely harming the skin just total disregard for whether I do harm skin in the process of seeing to the itch
I've got a habit of doing this as well. The worst is my torso area.
Do have prickly heat and trying to drink more water. I burn easily
Have you tried calamine lotion non scented cream etc..? Talcum powder is wonderful. Also distract yourself.
Hope this helps you
I will try the calomine lotion , thank you
Best advice to ask your pharmacist and describe the symptoms.
