HI hral,
I can't believe what you have had to endure!

I'm glad your face is doing better! I know that you have tried a lot of remedies already, but I'm going to add a few just in case they can give you some relief.

NO scents or fragrances or dyes in bath soap, laundry soap, skin lotion. (me)
Calamine lotion (my mother)
caladryl lotion (my sister)
Baking soda with water to make a mud pack. (my grandmom)
Straight olive oil (Old Italian lady trick)- yes, the stuff you cook with-- who knew?
maybe aloe, straight out of the plant.

As you probably know, you have to try any remedy on a small patch before putting a lot on the rest of your skin.

Boy, I sure do hope one of these old remedies is new to you AND gives you some relief! If you can stand trying yet one more thing...It gets so discouraging.

Itching can be worse than pain sometimes!!

Hello Annewoodmayo,

Thank you for these! responses below in caps 🙂

YUP...I USE THE "ACDS CAMP" APP AND IT TELLS ME WHAT PRODUCTS ARE SAFE TO USE BASED ON MY SPECIFIC ALLERGENS. IT'S AWESOME!

Calamine lotion (my mother)
YEEEAAA, HAVEN'T DONE THIS PROBABLY BECAUSE I HAD TO USE IT SO MUCH AS A KID THAT IT FEELS TRAUMATIZING. LOL...BUT I SHOULD TRY IT AGAIN

caladryl lotion (my sister)
THIS ONE IS NEW TO ME 🙂

Baking soda with water to make a mud pack. (my grandmom)
OOO...INTERESTING 🙂

Straight olive oil (Old Italian lady trick)- yes, the stuff you cook with– who knew?
LOVE IT! WILL TRY!

maybe aloe, straight out of the plant.
YUP I HAVE A PLANT IN THE KITCHEN...IT WAS THE ONLY THING I COULD PUT ON MY FACE DURING THE LAST EPISODE. 🙁

THANK YOU! I really appreciate holistic ideas.
