![]() ![]() It’s been about an hour and a half since this all concluded. ![]() I didn’t touch my shoulders, chest or back while I showered or dried off. I eventually made myself a very strong alcoholic beverage (do what you must to calm down) I took my last very hot shower about an hour ago. I laid on my cold marble knockoff coffee table, more yelling and swearing. Since than I have taken a few more scolding hot showers (it was the very first treatment suggestion I saw) I’ve tried aloe since than. I took my routine after work shower and was instantly struck with it. My first run in was filled with many sleepless nights, constant yelling and swearing and fidgeting and wasted aloe. Hopefully you don’t have this and if you do, hopefully it will help!ĭon’t judge me when I tell you this is the second time I’ve experienced this in my life. He ended up going back to the pharmacy to get the hydrocortisone and said that calmed it down enough to be bearable. He got home took the medicine and rubbed the cream in and said it alleviated it for about 30 minutes then the pain would come back. My brother got burnt on his arms and he said he tried everything and went to the pharmacy to get hydrocortisone cream but the pharmacist suggested Benadryl and an anti-itch cream. UPDATE: I recently got together with my brother for his birthday at my mom’s house and he shared a story that started very similar to the one above he experienced the hell itch too! I’ve heard of other people on the internet experiencing it, but I’ve never met someone who’s endured it before! It’s so weird how we both got it within weeks of each other and I’ve never even heard about until this year. If you do have this, I would certainly try this first before you spend the money on the prescriptions. Having a hot shower when you have a sunburn definitely isn’t going to feel good, but I swear it will help! I took one hot shower for about 10 minutes and it honestly helped. Take a HOT SHOWER! I took about 10 cold showers that would just numb the pain until I got out and the towel irritated it again (or the air, or a stupid piece of hair that kept lightly touching the spot). I know if you have this all you want is an answer! ![]() Nothing worked! After about 2 hours of the most unbearable feeling in my life, running up and down the halls, itching, regretting it, screaming and crying, did I start wondering if I was going crazy.Īt the very least, I was somewhat lucky I got this when I got home from work so at least I didn’t have to worry about the pain before or at work. I tried everything: I put on aloe vera gel (made it WAY worse!), tried keeping a cold cloth on the area (once I did this there was some relief but another spot would flare up!), putting ice cubes on my back (basically did nothing). Not only did I not have the time (I couldn’t go a minute without the pain reoccurring) to go to the doctor/pharmacy, I probably wouldn’t be able to get a shirt on long enough without ripping it off and scratching incessantly. I’ve seen this all over the internet donned “The Itch From Hell” and a lot of the solutions are prescription lotions or pills. I got sunburned on Sunday and it has been exactly 48 hours since it happened. I wanted to take a picture of the burn, but I couldn’t get a good picture of my back – although my shoulders did get pretty burnt! ![]()
