I dont catch it bad, but use something to dry it out
I use goldbond or rubbing alcohol on it just to dry it up
good luck

get wash cloth.
soak in rubbing alcahol.
get s/o to scrub and scratch, until it bleeds.
hurts so good.
helps to dry out.

Go to the doctor and get a shot. That's the only thing that works for me when I get it bad.
Had it so bad once it took 2.5 months to get rid of it and 3 seperate shots.

Wow that did not clear it up? Call your doctor back and let them know, in the mean time use bendryl gel to stop the itching, Landrys Pharamacy in Gonzales advertises an otc ointment, i have never tried it, but their stuff usually works great

Didn't notice this. Call your doctor and get another shot/pills. It's the only thing that would work on me. Like I said one time I had it, it took 3 seperate shots. A few other times it took 2 shots. Sucks bad I know that.

Had this stuff about 2 weeks ago. I used rubbing alchol, let soak on my skin for about 10mins and then soaked in oatmeal. Worked great, got rid of it pretty quick.

I have gotten rid of it by scrubbing with a rag until it bled. Then pour clorox on it.

*KNOCK ON WOOD* I've never gotten it really bad. The times I have, my mom had some kind of oatmeal ointment and it worked.

Had it extremely bad last year. Zanfel is sold at walmart and drug stores and is worth every penny of the 40 bucks it costs. Was dried up in about 24 hrs and helped relieve the itch immediately.

Agree with this. The wife gets it and has used Zanfel in the past and has worked pretty dam good.

What i use to dry it up and i mean it will dry up quick is....Selenium Sulfide. Comes in head & shoulders shampoo. Scrub with it and then put in on your skin to dry. May burn but works like a champ.

Rubbed bleach on it while standing in the shower. Waited a couple of minutes, then showered.
I did not have open sores when I did this.
It seemed to work quite well.

I don't think this will solve your problem dude. Matter of fact, I think having shite all over your leg would cause a major infection. But hey, I'm not a doctor so what would I know?
