HELP! I'm Itchy!

[Cort Haus]

But hot showers do have the profound advantage of not giving the user a heart attack, which is one of the hazards of the more bracing, cold variety.

[Krill]

Well, thing is, a heart attack is less pressing than itchiness when you are itching badly.

[Krill]

It doesn;'t have to be cold as i freezing though. A shower could merely feel neither hot nor cold and it would be ok.

[Cort Haus]

I sometimes suffer from mild eczema around the lower shins. The trick is to ignore it. Scratching only encourages it.

[Krill]

yeah, but sometimes it just grows in area. Mild eczema can be ignored, but for some people it can grow until steroidal cream is required to repair the damage to the skin.

Are you guys taking fish oil? It will help that. Also if you take it daily your lips won't chap as much.

[Krill]

no, not fish oil. Just basic white soft parafin and light liquid parafin fish oil sucks.

[Lancer]

So does itching.

[Krill]

Touché, but rubbing fish oil on itchy skin doesn;t generally do much for me.

[Lancer]

You don't rub it. It's in a capsule, you take it daily like a vitamin.

Yuck, rubbing it.

[Wezil]

Do you have shares in a fish oil business Lancer?

Just asking.

[Lancer]

Nope! Just know what it does for me. You young guys just wait. The future is less bright than it is hard to avoid.

[Thoth]

If you don't want to bolster Lancer's fish oil franchise, flax seed oil or hemp seed oil both work wonders as well.

[Krill]

Yeah, but an emolliant gives immediate relief.

BTW the thread title is missing a letter.
