Have Been Experiencing Itchy Skin
I have been experiencing itchy skin and when I itch it turns red sometimes with bumps and I go nuts, my chin breaks out with bumps and I use cortizone and iam sick of using it. Doc. says I have a high immune system with hystimine and he gave me drugs which the side effects I WONT TAKE. Anyone have anything to help this. It effects my feet, hands, face, arms and sometimes legs. I can itch till I bleed.
Thank you, Terri

Hi Terri. Recently I had an allergic reaction to a vegetable based soap I used. I had what looked like small, red and clustered bumps (resembled hives) that started spreading along both my arms. I treated it with whole aloe vera gel from the leaf/plant. I cut off a piece (maybe 2-4 inches) slicing it down the middle and rubbed the gel on the inside all over the bumps. I would recommend cleaning the area first w/ peroxide to neutralize and clean the infected area. I did this once a day....could be after a shower or just before bed - whatever you choose. I made sure not to put any lotion or moisturizers. Let the aloe gel dry and throughout the day or whenever you decide to do a new treatment - the bumps should start to dry up. I did this for about 3 days and the bumps disappeared. Only now I'm left with some mild scarring due to the scratching....I'm treating this with ___ ointment.
I hope this helps....many blessings!

My son has had eczema since birth & is now 18. Recently have started him on Apple Cider Vinegar which is helping plus flaxseed oil capsules. The other thing I started him was on good portion of lettuce & other vegetables based salad with minimum dressing daily. The above have not worked miracles as yet but have definetly helped plus given some good needed relief. All the best
