Just remember one thing. Dealing with symptoms is okay. Lotions and creams and stuff in order to get rid of the symptoms. But your basic focus should be treating and dealing with the cause of the problem. Take care

That really is annoying . I suggest that you try using baking soda, add 3 parts of it to 1 part water and put it gently to the itchy part of the skin, let it settle there until it dries, don't rub it. By the way, you can check this article http://voices.yahoo.com/homemade-remedies-rash-relief-9933747.html , that's were I verified that baking soda can be used on itchy skin rashes even though I have really a strong feeling that baking soda will do the job since I personally use baking soda for various tasks, e.g brushing, shampoo, deodorant, etc.

It's important to note, according to the article, you should just mix 3 parts of baking soda to 1 part water and don't rub it. Nevertheless, there are a lot of other home remedies mentioned on the site for itchy skin rashes.

I don't know about home remedies but I have used Aquaphor over the years since I have found out from my pediatrician for my children's rashes. It works out great on their baby skin so I whenever I have rashes, I use them too, it works great! I hope it helps you.

You have to determine first the cause of the itchiness. For me, an instant remedy is petroleum jelly. It soothes my skin and rids the itchy feeling so I avoid having to scratch it and make it worse.

well, i think itchy skin is sometimes cause of dryness.. then you can put some olive oil on it. or you can use aloevera gel... i hope that you feel better. but olive oil is good, it will clean it and even moisturise it...

the bumps are hives and you shoul d have gone t a doctot but you can g et help with benadryl cream and tablets. ther tablets will get rii of the bu mps and the cream will sto pthe itching.see your doc tor to find ot just what you are allergic to and avoid it instead doctors are there to help people get w ell.do it yourself is not always the greatest of ideas.

Maybe it's an allergy. I'm allergic to bio soap powder. If my things are washed with it I get an itchy skin rash. Or maybe you're allergic to something you've eaten or drunk, allergy to nuts is very common. You can buy camomile lotion, over the counter, its very soothing.

benadryl cream will stop the itching and the hives will g o away if you taked the benadryl tablests you are really alleregic to something and really you should have gone to your doctor or allergist to find ou t what it is and avoid it instead of going through the hives all the time.

The itching is very annoying, to relieve itching maybe you could try using baking soda. The trick is mix the baking soda to taste in to your bath water, use an antiseptic soap when you bath, and finishes of bath sprinkle an itching powder to the entire body. Hopefully this advice is useful, and you get better soon.
