Lol look on utube for men doing experimental labor. They are the biggest babies. You will laugh until you pee and stop thinkin about the itching. At least for a moment. :)

Would you tell him that for me? I swear, every man needs to spend one week of his life pregnant before being allowed to be around expectant women.

It's usually in a gel form with the sunblock and sunburn relief in the drugstore. We just ha some left over from this summer and thought I would try since I was desperate. I'm on visrel for anxiety so can't take Benedryl. It works great and it you want you can keep it in the fridge. It will be nice and cold and let's face it ladies we are in the kitchen anyhow scrounging around so its right there to be applied. Lol

I've put lidocaine gel on my legs like for a sunburn. It has aloe Vera in it and lidocaine helps with the itching.
