So this is doing my head in. It started last Tuesday on the really hot day(s). I've been putting calamine lotion on since the weekend it helps calm it down a bit but it made the skin really dry, so this morning in the shower I exfoliated really gently and rubbed some moisturiser on it, but it's worse than ever this evening. Have put more calamine on. Tried some hydrocortisone cream I have for excema and it does take the itch out but doesnt really help. It's quite cool here now, early 20's . Am finding it hard to wear trousers - have been going round in a light sun dress. Back to work tomorrow and the thoughts of putting my black trousers on over it is killing me. Anyone any tips to speed up recovery? It's all over my knees, and goes up the back of my thighs and lower buttocks. Really really itchy and sometimes sore. I have had it before, but it usually goes down after a couple of days. I sleep with a fan blowing on me, but literally last night it was so cool I turned it off. Anyone???
