[QUOTE="nvts, post: 278777, member: 3814"] Ok you guys - get this: I got the "itchies" to stop, but you're not going to believe how. After blowing a fortune on "topical ointments", creams, lotions, Benadryl, Jr. Tylenol, etc. I was desperate. It was 3:00 am and difficult child 1 was crying, begging me to get it to stop - I opened up the medicine cabinet, pulled out toothpaste (paste, not gel, whitening) and put some on the itchiest spot. By then the 2nd dose of Benadryl had kicked in and he went to sleep. At 5:45, difficult child 1 came in and woke me up to tell me that he wasn't itchy at all in the spot where I put the toothpaste - could I put more on his back. Throughout the day, he'd run in to tell me he couldn't believe he wasn't itchy at all. The only thing I can figure is there's baking soda (skin softener?), peroxide (for bleaching the teeth) and mint (soothing for the skin?) in it and the combination of them did the trick. Wow! Desperation is what truly fuels invention!!! Beth [/QUOTE]
