The only thing that eased it was when the doc prescribed steroids, but obviously I didn't want to take them for long, I'm scratching as I type and hubby has just said "stop scratching you'll make it worse" excuse me one moment while I go and find a heavy object to hit him with.
Had this for ten years and made my holidays a misery. Finally went to dermatology and they put me on a de-sensitisation programme. Had to to go to hosp three times a week for six weeks (yes really) to stand in a booth (just like a tanning booth but you don't get a tan) for around 60 seconds a time only. It took me longer to get undressed than it did to have the treatment. FANTASTIC - no recurrence in the last four years - a total cure.
