Itchng all over

I heard about those plastic balls. A friend of mine was giving a demonstration along with the other products they have, but I could not afford to buy anything yet. They also sell a soap for sensitive skin.

Our Superstore does make a sensitive detergent and it is for babies. It is not in the concentrated type and not for high efficiency machines, that is, it foams up more. I know that there is a sensitive detergent in the brand I use at Safeway because that Safeway is near several senior citizen's apartments, but it is a mile away, and my husband watches the money. But if he does not want to itch, I guess I will have to go there and get the detergent from Safeway.

If you could get a sample free maybe and he finds out it works he might feel such relief from the itch he might like it enough to go buy it and spend that extra on it.

I find if I use a hand cream or lotion around his sensitive area, that it helps. His skin is getting itchy and I think it is because of his disease. I might try to get a sensitive shampoo for his hair. Right now we use Head and Shoulders because he likes it, but I do not think that is the best.

It could be the detergent. I do use vinegar but wonder whether I should have put more in.

We live in Winnipeg, and I think it has to do with the stroke. He is starting to act funny because if affected his brain. He does not wear any cologne. But he uses Zest, he likes it, but I do not. I wonder if that could be a problem.

I would check with the doctor and see if he can use that soap but don't let him use baby powder that's is worst thing you could do he'll will go nut's with itch.
baking soda is good.

I will see what the doctor says, but the doctor is a family doctor sports medicine specialist.He is not an expert on strokes.

I cannot use any fabric softener. I have started to use those rubber type balls that are advertised and they work quite well. I also use a hand lotion for where my husband is dry and that helps relieve his itch, but guess cannot use it on his hair. I tried different shampoos, but do not think they will help.

I use a hypo-allergenic detergent and it works quite well. I also use a hand lotion and that also works as my husband is quite dry. I do wonder what to use for his hair though.

He has als and he used to wear those briefs, but now wears cotton boxers as they are more comfortable. I would not want him to wear no underwear just in case there is an accident and we have to call the ambulance. I do use hand lotion down there as his skin is dry and gets sore there around the crotch area because if his legs stiffen his pants ride up.

I use Sunlight and also I found that the store brands have a none perfume kind and they are cheaper. i use regular hand lotion around where it itches and that helps. I tried talcum powder but that did not do anything.

POwder just blocks your pours they have even put out now not to powder babies behinds

I figure that is a good idea. I do use regular laundry detergant, but the store brand and they have a baby detergent. That seems to work and also hand lotion. That helps.

He has als and because the nerve centers do not get the message across and his muscles are atrophying, the nerves have to go somewhere. We use the non-allergic detergants and also I use hand lotion around that area because he is quite dry there. I do want to look for a different shampoo because his hair gets itchy.
