I had that for a while. Hubby did some online research and found that Grandpa's Pine Tar Soap was helpful for many women experiencing the same. He went to Whole Foods and got me a bar. It worked INSTANTLY. The bumps went down as i was drying. Was so relieved from the itch. It was getting all the way to my face n that was gone. I still keep using the soap to this day bc i don't  it to come back D:. I also use Aveno lotion for eczema after so it keeps my skin soft. Hope this helps.

when I had the symptoms it soothed me. I'm not a fan of cold water though, so whatever's comfortable for you.

I just had that for about 4 weeks n it just disappeared. Not sure how but one thing that helped was cool showers then applying cortozone. My doctor recommended calamine for me but it did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Try it out hopefully it works for you :)
