Aveeno oatmeal bath....comes in 5 packs...wall-greens has it......make a paste of it with water.....put it over the itchy area...works wonders....I barely use a whole packet


Thought I had shingles in December...swollen cheek...blisters that oozed....itched so bad it drove me nuts....but...no pain"...so it probably wasn't shingles"......looked like I had been in a fight.......this aveeno paste worked immediately.....it ran along the nerve in my cheek and when I feel itchy...anywhere....i put the paste on and it feels better immediately.
