All my 4 kids have had it and anti itching creams and lotions did not work for any of them. What seemed to work best, was to take off as much of their clothes as possible: the warmer/sweatier they were, the more pox they got. What worked wonders for my youngest daughter was this syrup she took on doctor's prescription and ever so slightly numbed the nerve ends and therefor made her less itchy (I'm really sorry, I can't remember the name...). It made her a bit sleepy too, which was actually not too bad: the more they sleep, the quicker the body gets better!\nBy the way, my doctor did not want me to rub anything on the chickenpox, lotion or cream: according to her it made the chance of (mild) infections bigger, with the result not only that the skin is more irritated and itchier, but also  a much bigger chance of scars......

I would try aloe. There are products in the baby aisle used to treat the same problem and would work for adults as well.\n Otherwise you just have to wait it out and stay out of the sun.

the oil from the plant is whats causing the burning and itch. if you scratch, then you drag that irritation along non-injured skin. the " just in case"anti-biotic will only help prevent secondary infection from the lesions and most steroid creams can only be used on a 3 on 1 off schedule to prevent skin thinning. and calamine lotion just turns you pink. there are pills( neuroton) that can be given to help by decreasing the impulses felt by the nerve endings and that in extreme cases, but like all things it will have to run its coarse.Remember to wash your hands after putting on your cream or touching your skin. Poison ivy, when spread to the eye can cause Cornela abrasion and even blindness, spread to the mucus membrane or inside the mouth, can cause lesions in the throat and sinus. why too many problems to mess with. next time, if you get into the ivy, wash your skin very well( at least 10 min.) with plain soap and cool water. and DON'T SCRATCH! good luck.

90% of the time, itchy skin is merely a sensitivity to something in your environment--it's the other 10% that you'll need to be concerned about.  Itchy skin can be a symptom of certain cancers, such as Hodgkin's Disease Lymphoma.  I ask you, are there other symptoms such as unexplained weight loss, night sweats (drenching amounts of sweat that only occur while sleeping), or fatigue?  Even if there isn't, I'd still recommend seeing a doctor, who can use some simple blood tests to determine whether it's worth further examining.\n\nYou may also be experiencing allergies to something such as detergents (I doubt this one, or you'd be itching everywhere clothing touches you), dust, soaps, shaving creams or gels, or even certain foods.  Think back to when this all started, and see if you can remember any changes you made out of the ordinary.  You may also try changing your razor if you shave your legs; sometimes the blades of mass-produced razor heads aren't in exact allignment, and the tiny little scrapes that they produce--even if you didn't feel them when they happened--can become irritated and make your skin itch.  In fact, the little bumpy rashes you described fit nicely with this possibly being the problem.\n\nFor relief in the meantime, you can try taking Benadryl tablets along with using Hydrocortisone creams.  You're right to be aware of how much you're scratching, since it's easy to make a bad situation even worse by creating little open wounds with your fingernails.\n\nWhatever you do, please go to a doctor first and work this issue from worse-case scenero first before switching over this and that, these and those.  \n\nGood luck to you!

In Florida, I found something that works great. I think it was called "Itch Gone". It's a clear liquid that comes in a small plastic bottle with a sponge applicator top.

My doctor and many sites reccomended taking a daily dose of Flaxseed Oil (add to a smoothie) and rubbing Aloe Vera gel into the area at least twice a day.\n\nNot only has this cured me of most of my eczema but it has also reduced the itching on the tiny part still to go.\n\nFlaxseed oil is often reccomended for skin conditions. It's available from health food places and some supermarkets. Keep it in fridge and use quickly though, it goes off fast like milk. \n\nAs for Aloe, get a pure aloe gel - not one in moisturiser. It's more expensive but it lasts a long time. You will find it will itch or sting when you apply it but that will ease off and generally soothe it. \n\nHowever - talk to a doctor because eczema comes in many types and some treatments will work best on some and not so good on others. Generally they will either tell you the same as me or prescribe an ointment, but be careful as those ointments often steroid based and can be harmful. Generally they won't prescribe for any longer than a few months and won't give refills because of the health dangers.\n\nHope you find a cure, coz yes it sucks!\n\n\nEDIT: A poster above stated evening primrose oil is good, yes I had forgotten that, it is very good thanks to that poster.

I heard that Elidel can cause cancer.. not sure on that.. but My best advice is to use vasaline after a bath.. and to take a clean white sock and pour some oatmeal in then tye and place in your bath water... Doctor told my daughter to try this and it really helps with the itching and makes the skin soft... The cream used that is safe is Eucern that you can buy at your local Wal-Mart of Walgreens.. but it is almost the same as Vasoline.. Hope this helps... My daughter has severe Excema and this helps her... :)

Allergies\n\nI have a son who is allergic to everything. He was about 8 months old when I started with Melaleuca. One by one I slowly tested each product. Melaleuca is the one thing I can use on him that works wonders! We use to buy 2-3 different types of laudry detergent because of allergies in my household. Now, it's only Mela Power. Renew Bath Oil and Renew Intensive Skin Therapy are awesome for any skin problems and I swear by that!  \nI know several people who have gotten off of their allergy medicine as well as inhalers after switching to Melaleuca. The first step is to get all of the harsh chemicals/toxins out of your home. Then get on the Daily for Life Pack and saturate with the Provex (1capsule/25 lbs per day for 2 weeks) Provex is a powerful antioxidant and is a natural anti-inflammitory and anti-histamine! It works wonderfully for allergies and asthma without the side effects of prescription medications! \nthat he got infections on his legs. The allergist that I went to put him on heavy cortisone, if I knew then what I know now I wouldn't have done it. That did clear him up but then it came back. Here's the great part.... within two weeks of TOTALLY converting our home to Melaleuca products, he was a different child. Attitude, everything. I am convinced that he felt miserable and (acted miserable) because of the allergies. Hallelujah!!!! The other story is about me, I was always allergic to Easter lilies, I have been taking ProvexCV and went in to the local store, saw the lilies and thought to myself, oh great here goes, my head is going to BLOW up. It didn't. I went over and sniffed, and then took in a big sniff and no blow up, and for any doubters, no the store hadn't pulled the centers out of the lilies! Hope these stories help, any questions, contact me at \nCV and I noticed my summer allergies were not as bad as they use to be... so it helped me too...

You may want to try taking sugar out of your diet and applying Aloe Vera gel to the area after bathing and whenever it itches.  The Aloe can eventually heal it almost completely if you apply it consistently. For extremely itchy eczema, you may want to try applying cooked, watery oatmeal to the area when it's really acting up. It can take the itch out almost immediately! Make sure you stop using any of the above if you seem to be having an allergic reaction or if it seems to make it worse, because people with eczema often have allergies to all sorts of normal every day things that don't bother other people.

Calalmine lotion is good for a mild case.  There are also over the counter hydrocortisone creams that will help with the itch and redness and for a really, really bad case (I hope for your sake not) like with blisters you can get some prescription steroid anti-inflammatory medicine from your doctor.  Don't scratch!

I prefer simple answers myself.  Aloe Vera Gel applied to the area, drink 1/2 cup Alo Vera juice 3 times a day.  Or Butchers broom to shrink & relieve itching. Or Horse Chestnut to relieve swelling & inflammation.  Hope this helps

There is a great homeopathic remedy for poison ivy called Rhus Tox. Cortisone administered orally (such as a Medrol dosepak) is very effective if started within 24 hours of the onset. I don't believe there is any benefit to using topical cortisone.  Poison ivy will dry up on its own. The oil from the plant( urushiol) is what causes the blistering and the itching. So be sure to wash all clothing that has come in contact with the plant.

Depends on the cause of the itch. Do you have a rash, or just itching?

I wonder if the itching is due to the flaking, or if it's all due to some kind of skin irritation.  Before trying cortisone or anything else, I would try an unscented moisturizing lotion for a while.
