augh, stop the itching

[lilamp]

everyone but me seems to like my skin. it's usually clear, and apparently unusually soft. however, it often itches like a motherfucker. my legs especially. and i can't help but scratch, so my legs end up covered with scabs. oh isn't that lovely! my wrists also often itch, though that seems to come and go with various stress-related stuffs. the legs just itch whenever the hell they feel like it, which sometimes feels like nearly all the fucking time. gah!

also, i am plagued with itching in the crotchial region. it's not yeast infections, it's not sensitivity to any particular condoms or lube or soap or anything, it's just my stupid skin being overly sensitive to being there at all. and of course if i scratch, it just irritates the skin more and makes it stay in irritated itchy mode.

i wish there existed some kind of magic lotion i could slather my entire body in daily that would keep the itch at bay.

must.not.scratch. must.not.scratch. must.not scratch.

Poor you. I can relate. The skin on my face usually breaks out in response to some hidden additive that it hates. The skin on my arms and legs spontaneously erupts into hives every few days, and I have no clue why. The crotchial region is happy as long as I don't take any bubble baths, go near it with any soap or dry my underwear with fabric softener.
