Hi everyone, need some help on what to do for welts and itching. (and Terry, dear, this ain't meant for you so don't laugh!)

Let's see how to put this -- arrhhghgh, well, just jump in there!! I am uh, large chested, er, well endowed, foot, you get the picture. and just for the record I AM NOT A BLONDE!!! I scratch so much I get welts and the worst is right under my bra line in front. Drives me crazy, also inside of legs. I've tried calamine, epsom salts doesn't work on this, body lotion only makes it worse. can't use band aids, kleenex falls out (not one word, not a word ya'll)

I swear I can't be the only one with this problem. Help!!!

Dayton,

I use baby powder in the areas that I sweat bad.

Take care

Benadryl cream. Keep the area dry as possible.

I have had Hives for months now and was told it is just another thing that can happen with RSD or Fibro ! I have both and RSD was first fibro is secondary! But i am on a med called atrax that keeps me from itching but the hives and welts are still there!

Take care
