Skin Communicating With Itself?

[Tilly2]

Every night after my shower, I moisturise my feet. As I'm massaging in the lotion, my shins begin to itch so I do those as well. Then the skin at the back of my neck starts irritating, so the lotion goes there. This sensation then creeps down my back and I end moisturising my back. This continues, the irritation creeping around my skin, until I have moisturised the whole of my body. It takes ages!

My skin seems to communicate with itself.

Such a strange thing to happen. Do others find that this happens to them?

[Tilly2]

......as am I....:-(

If you didn't moisturise your feet, the chain reaction wouldn't happen.

[Psybbo]

I've started to itch now so your skin is talking to mine!

[shoota]

But the idea of Tilly2 covered in baby oil does have some appeal....

[Tilly2]

I know, Shoots. Needs must though.

Sorry, Sibs. :-(

[ummmm]

Change your moisturiser .

[Tilly2]

Not baby oil, sorry. I don't want to slip out of bed.

[Tilly2]

How will changing the moisturiser help, Ummmm?

[shoota]

I wasn't suggesting you moisturised with baby oil, I merely said the idea had some appeal.

[ummmm]

Because suit better than others.

There are lots of nerve endings in your feet, it might be a reflexology thing.

[Tilly2]

I have a variety of lotions, potions and oils. It matters not what I use. The creeping irritation always happens. My skin is very sensitive and seems to be becoming increasingly so, as I get older.

It must be just me.......:-(

Never mind. I'll just get on with it.

[shoota]

Need a hand?

[Tilly2]

Good point, Robinia. I never thought of that.

[Tilly2]

Yes please, Shoots. You can do my feet.

[ummmm]

Try your GP.

Are you stressed about anything?

[shoota]

//it might be a reflexology thing. //
Which takes me back to my original post...

[gness]

I can tell by massaging the feet where a person has problems in other areas of the body....but....

....take Shoota up on his offer and get your whole body massaged quickly then it won't take you ages following the irritation around........☺

[Tilly2]

Yes ummmm, I am extremely stressed at the mo. but didn't think that was a cause.
