Thanks in advance. :roll:
I'm pretty sure someone will tell me why this is bad--------but I'd wash my hands real well in bleach. It's going to hurt---------but then the itching hurts too.
One of my "not by the book" cures.
NOT U 2??? I've still got it REAL bad. It is everywhere. So far Zanfel for $35 a tiny little tube is the only thing that has done much good. BUT Mean Green hand cleaner is the same thing and cheaper - the same stuff is in some cleansing cosmetics - go read the labels... go on search on line... As far as relief - maybe time? I do believe I've heard every wive's tale this week - I wore paisley to work today so my clothes matched my body - hey that's SSSSSOOOOOO not funny.
I've not had a bad case for a while, but sleeping was the big problem. I'd wake to find myself scratching.
A 5 minute sting from Mean Green or any other old wives cure is worth that agony.
(can I snicker about the paisley if I hid my mouth in my sleeve?)
