🐭🧚🏼🦋the worst symptom for me is the flaky itchy skin anywhere on my body. It doesn’t matter if it’s seen by others or not just having the sensation of itching/flaking is painful and causes discomfort that’s unbearable. During the day keeping from scratching is doable but at night I wake myself up when I scratch in my sleep 💤 sometimes to the extent that I draw blood 🩸. I have at times injured myself and created scars from my scratches. The worst symptom for me is definitely the scratching and my lack of control over it 😠..

Amanda, make yourself a warm washcloth of Epsom salt and oatmeal. It will help heal and the burning. It may sting using the Epsom salt compress, but know it helping. Don’t use hot water, use warm water. Then dry off. Use a very good cream on it with hydrocortisone and anti fungus cream mixed.
