I need a way to stop my legs from itching?

Yesterday I bought this big inflatable waterslide, and right before I got on it I shaved my legs. I went down the slide all day long. Now my legs are really itchy and irritated. I’m pretty sure its from shaving and then having the slide rubbing against me over and over again. Now I have been up all night, literally, and nothing will stop the itching. I tried hydrocortisone, cool cloths, lotion, and milk on them. Now I have to work in a few hours and I need the itching to stop. Any ideas?

I had a similar problem when I came back from school camp… I had waxed my legs a week earlier, but I think the itching was related to the 80% DEET insect repellent that I used! Out of curiosity, do you have little red, inflamed hair follicles? I did… Anyway I didn’t sleep for about 3 nights because the itching was so bad (and i had just gotten home from camp so I was exhausted enough as it was!) so I can empathise with you there. My short term fix was sitting with my legs in a COLD BATH whenever they got really itchy, just to numb the itch. I tried things like pine tarsle, but was unsuccessful. Phernergan is an anti itch tablet you can try, and I think it’s over the counter. I ended up going to the doctor (who said it was a skin contact reaction, probably related to the insect repellent…) but what she did is prescribed me some mild steroids which are SERIOUS itch-killers. This made things a bit better…

So my suggestions to you are:
*Cold baths to numb the itch
*Phenergan
*Pine tarsle
*Doctor – I know this sounds silly but they can probably give you something to help.

As for the reaction itself, that will probably only go away with time. Hope I’ve helped, I know How Much this sucks!!
