Sir, thanks for your respond and I heard all what you said I 'll make sure I do it, but if there is anyway else to solve this problem me and my family we don't care whatever it will take and we have spend a lot to sure it out of my life
There is a medicine that helps and I'm living proof, it's Gabapentin and/or Neurontin. As long as I take one before I shower I will not sting. This medicine works better and faster than Benadryl. I found out about Gabapentin by accident. I had injured my right hip very badly and was having severe sciatic nerve pain and was put on Gabapentin and my itching/stinging was gone. There is hope. Talk to your doctor. Never take a hot shower, it will make it worse. Yes cool air does help but for me it does not stop it fast enough. From someone who lives in middle Georgia and the humidity is a killer, I have opted for the meds.
Air Conditioner. Portable air con is the answer for me. Avoid humidity and after bathing(no shower) use air con to cool down. If you wake in the middle of the night with the itch use air con for a while until it eases. <br />
I hope this helps. <br />
