The evaporation may make it  worse.\nTry holding a cold damp washcloth on it, provided you do not have a problem with laundry detergent or fabric softener.

You have contact dermatitis. You are getting an allergic reaction to something in the water. In fact this is an improper immune response.

you should flushed you eye out immediately for at least 10 min with real cold water!! Since it is swollen you need to go to the ER for them to treat it.

Well, I would say not more than 10 minutes, or you may go into shock from the cold water.  As a nurses aid we only let patients have an ice pack on for 10 - 15 min.  ice can burn your skin.  I am South African and we have a saying for Rugby. "Donate Blood! Play Rugby"  Good luck.

it's frostbite. the water melting off the ice cube is because salt lowers the freezing point and so the water on your skin is very cold <32 so it freezes the skin. kinda like making ice cream except more painfull

You're nose becomes dehydrated and needs to stay moist. You will probably need to use some saline mist up your nose.

You cant. It is a wet area with bacteria, so all you can do is wait. To relieve it drink water. Not so much cold water after it gets burnt because that could cause blistering.

Considering the location on your body where the rash is occurring, my guess would be most like heat rash. And yep, the humidity won't help, either. If you can get your hands on a clay-based talcum powder (Burts Bees make one, don't know if you can get it there, though), wash the affected areas thoroughly, dry completely, then apply the talcum to those areas. In a pinch, cornstarch will help somewhat, but the clay talcum works the best of everything I have tried. Also try wearing underwear that allows the skin to breath, like all-cotton, just so long as it does not contain manmade fibers. And you want it to fit in such a way that it prevents rubbing and further irritation of the skin. Hope this helps, I know how miserable rashes can be.

you may be allergic to chlorine, like my son is... the doctor gave him zyrtec. he takes it before, and after swimming, as long as it is within the recommended time of dosages. he also breaks out with rashes when he swims. good luck.

The reaction is triggered by the contact of a cold substance with the roof of the mouth. It irritates the nerves in the region, causing them to spasm. These nerves cause the blood vessels in the brain to dilate. When this happens you get a brain freeze.

Yes, it can be very probable.\nYour body still has this allergen inside. Your immune system will try to stop it and will produce that reaction. You may perfectly have this reaction if you touched something days ago, it's very factible.

if you gabve very cold water to a plant it might not be able to metabolise it properly

First off, I'd quit using whatever deoderant he was using in case he is allergic to it.\nOne website said that you should see a doctor if:\na boil becomes extremely large or painful\na cluster of boils form or you have an abscess\nboils become increasingly common\nred lines spread out from the center of the boil\nthe boil is extremely tender\nfever and chills develop\nlymph nodes begin to swell that are located in other areas of the body from where the original lymph node swelling occurred.\nAnother website said it could be blocked hair follicles (hidradenitis).

Stress is definitely the cause of your rash, although a lot of alcohol might be a trigger.  Are you hitting the bottle to ease the stress?  If so you'll end up with a big old red nose!\n\nI suggest going on a sunbed as that will help any red rashes.  Get some organic vegetables in your diet, and find ways to chill out - exercise, laugh, enjoy life.\n\nWhatever you do, though, don't use any creams as you might end up with scar tissue in a very obvious place.  Trust me, I know from experience!

Here is a picture of someone with poison ivy around the eye:\nhttp://www.poison-ivy.org/rash/image/eye.jpg\nhttp://www.aad.org/NR/rdonlyres/4A4EA1D9-3474-4B73-BBA7-C41D4F38E572/0/ivyacutedermatitis.jpg\n\nFrom American Association of Dermatology website:\n\nIf you think you’ve had a brush with poison ivy, poison oak, or poison sumac, follow these simple steps: \n\nWash all exposed areas with cold running water as soon as you can reach a stream, lake, or garden hose. If you can do this within five minutes, the water may keep the urushiol from contacting your skin and spreading to other parts of your body. Within the first 30 minutes, soap and water are helpful. \nWash your clothing in a washing machine with detergent. If you bring the clothes into your house, be careful that you do not transfer the urushiol to rugs or furniture. You may also dry clean contaminated clothes. Because urushiol can remain active for months, wash camping, sporting, fishing, or hunting gear that was in contact with the oil. \nRelieve the itching of mild rashes by taking cool showers and applying over-the-counter preparations like calamine lotion or Burow’s solution. Soaking in a lukewarm bath with an oatmeal or baking soda solution may also ease itching and dry oozing blisters. Over-the-counter hydrocortisone creams are not strong enough to have much effect on poison ivy rashes. \n\nPrescription cortisone can halt the reaction if used early. If you know you have been exposed and have developed severe reactions in the past, consult your dermatologist. He or she may prescribe cortisone or other medicines that can prevent blisters from forming. If you receive treatment with a cortisone drug, you should take it longer than six days, or the rash may return.

Crystal is correct!! Cold showers do soothe, however work into it a bit! Start out with a normal shower and slowly cool the water down! I'm a nurse but my answer is more because I was hit by a car while walking and had the worst road rash imaginable! when it started healing I thought if I could just peel the skin off and remove it to the bone I would be the happiest person in the world! But, alas, this is not possible, so my Doc. suggested the shower method! It works and after a few days I could actually go to bed without scratching my legs to a bloody pulp! \nKeep your nails short and after your shower if you still want to scratch use a cloth and rub gently. During the night you may be scratching sub-consciously and your back to square one. If your nails are short your less likely to cause bleeding and then infection! neosporin is the best cream to use so I would get a tube of it, especially the one that has a pain reliever in it!\n\nGood luck!
