Look for this topic over at
Yahoo Groups. There are several hundred of us with various solutions. No cure, but many ideas on how to fight the itch. Changing soaps, detergents, using anithistamines DO NOT HELP. Showering with cold water makes it worse - you need to finish the shower with VERY HOT WATER. Most creams make the itching worse - avoid creams with the first ingredient of water...purified water or heavy water is better if you can find one. Less stress, sun tans, etc. DO HELP.
