Calamine Lotion.



If, you have terrible, open puss blisters, soak the affected parts in warm bleach water.......helps dry it up.

I have been using over the counter cream for two days.....I just finished soaking my hand in bleach water.....at least the itching is slowing down alittle. My one hand is covered and my eye lid and cheek and neck.....the eye seems ok just a little swollen but not messy. Now I remember why I hate yard work....YUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cool-water tub soaks with over-the-counter colloidal oatmeal (Aveeno)
This stuff is the bomb for itchiness too.

If it is oozing, be careful not to spread it. Blot the ooz with a tissue, don't wipe.

my children are highly allergic to it. we find that if you paint clear nail polish on it and use benedryl thats the ticket. keep applying the nail polish after baths and like each time it starts itching, it covers it and keeps it from ozzing and spreading,
