RibaRash Fix Advice and Other Posts


I have had the WORST possible case of RibaRash for MONTHS.  Nothing could get rid of it and I was literally ripping my skin off.  My sides are now so scarred from the itching which I even did in my sleep!

For Christmas my 17 yo daughter went out and bought me every single itch relief thing on the market.  It was cute, I have tried them all now.

Anyway - I finally tried one product and now

ALL OF MY RIBARASH IS COMPLETELY GONE IN ONLY THREE DAYS!  

I just had to come in here and let you know it worked for me and I pray to God it would work for those of you with this chickenpox itching scratching nightmare of RibaRash!

GOLD BOND MEDICATED TRIPLE ACTION RELIEF FOR DRY AND ITCHY SKIN BODY LOTION.  It's a green bottle with a red top.  

I showered and then put on a good coat of this stuff and almost immediately the itching stopped which was nice.

BUT NOW THREE DAYS LATER IT IS COMPLETELY GONE! MY SIDES AND LEGS AND ARMS AND BACK ARE CLEAR OF THOSE HORRIBLE LITTLE WELTS!

The other lotions I used were just not as RICH and THICK as this stuff and in only three days.........EVERY SINGLE ONE IS TOTALLY GONE.

I hope to GOD it works for any of you out there. I've been using Aveeno lotion and oatmeal bath and hydrocortizone but that made it better but didn't get RID of it.

I REALLY BELIEVE THAT MOISTURIZING AND HYDRATING YOUR SKIN IS THE KEY AND THIS STUFF WORKED WHERE NOTHING ELSE DID!

since i've been giving you my play by play, just thought I'd share that the first shot is DONE!  Now, my hubby and I are here just waiting.  After taking the Riba, I was EXHAUSTED, could hardly keep my eyes open. No idea if it was from the Riba, or just coincidence.  I was kind of hoping it would give me enough energy to clean my house tonight! lol  
I'm sure I'll be back in the morning.  Feeling rather attached to this place right about now! :)  Thanks to everyone!

THANKS A MILLION. MY RASH WAS TERRIBLE AND AFTER TWO DAYS OF GOLD BOND IT HAS IMPROVED A LOAD. I DID HAVE TROUBLE FINDING IT THOUGH AS IT WAS IN THE COSMETICS SECTION NOT THE MEDICATIONS SECTION. THE DESCRIPTION SAVED THE DAY.

I love my Gold Bond.  Another day and no new rash anywhere.  It's like just killed them somehow! I LOVE LOVE LOVE NOT ITCHING AND SCRATCHING ANYMORE! WOO HOO!

Jim I can't believe it's almost over for you you are SO CLOSE it's within REACH!  HALLELUJAH!!!!!  ;-)

Legs are totally stiff lately but probably because I've done NOTHING but lay in bed for the past few days. The BEST vacation I've ever had from work!

:)

The Nurse Practitioner had me take riba in the am on the first day and pm.  So I took three in the morning (when it wouldn't hurt if they made me a little speedy) and two with dinner.  Since I eat more fat with dinner THAT would probably be more logical - but considering in the SLEEP factor (thank God for Ambien at least I fall asleep now even though I later wake a few times) I think taking the most in the morning is best.

But that's only if you have to take a 3/2 combo of the Ribas.
