God my legs have been so irritable. They were fine before my camping trip three weeks ago, but the thing is while at Killbear I was only in shorts ONCE. So what now?

2 weeks and my legs are still irritable and itchy.
Dunno what else it could be, tried moisturizer. I haven't dealt with this before and it SUCKS.

My sister said she had ecema on her legs really bad one year where she just scratched and scratched. I've only suffered from ecema once in my life and I think when I dealt with it I had it on my hands only.

Dunno what else it could be... any ideas?

Hmm - maybe, Poison Ivy - - - - try some Chalomine lotion, Aveno Oatmeal soak (or) good old Benadryl.



LoVe,

I got chiggers several times from camping. See article

Hmm I guess that is possible.
It doesn't bother me unless I scratch.
However today is a good day.
So if it's that perhaps it's gone.

Mrb I have Benedryl the liquid kind, but since I was unsure what it was I didn't want to take anything.

I've been dealing with something similar all spring/summer and need to eventually go see the doc, but plain old benedryl (or generic that is incredibly cheap at Costco) helps me wonders. I get it on my feet, legs, and sometimes the top of my hands. I think allergens are super bad this year out where I live because it's been so hot and dry. I can tell you that I'm about the furthest thing from being happy when it happens to me though.

Hope you don't have to deal with it for long!
