I've got a rash.
I'm hoping it's just an allergy to a body spray I used, and not poison ivy.

I also wish the Benedryl would go to work! I feel like a one-woman Itchy and Scratchy Show!

1. Is it in an embarrassing place?
If it is, then don't tell us. x(

2. I had a rash last summer, drove me crazy.
What finally helped me was Aveeno Colloidal Oatmeal Body Wash.

You can buy it at any drugstore and it really helped me.

Hope this helps.

4. I used that stuff on my older boy, when he got chicken pox.
Good stuff!
We just made a paste of one of the packets, and slathered it onto the pox...

I have a 12 bottle, it goes a longway.

15. Good stuff. Expensive, but worth it.
They also make oatmeal tablets you can dissolve in the bath. Good for all over itchiness like chicken pox and sun poisoning.

10. It does indeed...
My guess is that TMI stands for "That must itch"> :D

11. That's good to know!
I've never had PI before; so if that's what this turns out to be, I'll give it a try. Thanks! :toast:

16. I empathize
poison ivy somehow always manages to find me and I don't even hike much. Keep changing your clothes and towels so it won't spread.

21. I'm not sure if it is PI...
There are places on my arms that have rash without itching, places on my neck that are really bothering me, and other places with no rash at all. Very strange...
