Yeah, $40/tube is pricey but it's worth every penny. The best part is rubbing in the gritty paste. It's like getting a free pass to scratch at it.

steroid shot. topical cream. benadryl.

Dr would never write a script for it but if you have any sched 2 pain killers laying around, they work very well.

But don't blame me if you get additcted and die. Take a few a day for 2-3days until it goes away.

Go get a shot

For those allergic make sure to scrub your hands and any other exposed skin when you think you may have had contact

Soap and hot water will do wonders

My doctor told me that will spreads it.


Go to urgent care and get the shot. I found that using rubbing alcohol to clean and dry up the area helped substantially.

Decadron shot will clear it up faster than anything.

In my experience, I've found two cures:
1. Prescription meds from your doctor.
2. Time

Clorox bath

I used to make a paste out of comet or ajax and rub it on. It would burn but it would go away pretty fast.

cold, dark coffee mixed with baking soda into a paste. Spread it on and put a bandage over it.

Seriously.

Go get a bottle of allegra allergy medication it helps with itching. As far as quick fix ive tried bleach with great success in the past....beware bleach will scar your skin

Last time I had it, I tried just about every lotion and ointment in Walgreens and was even taking oatmeal baths. Bought that stuff and the itch was pretty much gone within a day or two. It even helps with drying/healing.
