OMG I'm going nutzzzzzzzzzzzzz funz. My skin is so dry and itchy the past week or so. I've been drinking lots of water and moisturizing several times a day with the Total Immersion... it isn't helping. I even resorted to using Butter a few times. any ideas on what else I should do?

my back is making me crazy. I need to find a boy to rub lotion on it. hehehehe

The water and total immersion should really help with dry skin, maybe you are having a reaction to the Total Immersion??? How long have you been using it?

Did u just use a new lotion this week??

Did you get a sunburn on your back?

nothing new... I've been using Total Immersion for months now. my back hasn't been exposed to UV in awhile b/c I haven't gone to the salon lately, therefore no new lotions either. I can't imagine what the reason for this is.

PS... um, what is so new and improved about you, Chris?

Thats weird, could you be having an allergic reation to medicine or something???

njchica..
did you change washing powders for laundry? Fabric Softner?
you have been over heated with the soccor team..
is the skin redish? peeling at all? flakey? or just a dull itch?
Does it have a bit of a fever to the touch?

hahaha Teresa... I got my sister to rub the lotion on my back for me.

no I haven't used a new detergent. The skin isn't red, peeling, or flaky. It is a dull itch and yes I have had a fever all over the past few days.....

You might want to try some hydrocortisone cream.My son has a problem with exczema,stemming from his allergies and asthma.This is the only thing that works for his excessively dry skin.You can find it in any pharmacy, or get a stronger prescription strength from your doctor.It was also reccommended to us that he bathe only every other day (with tepid water)to help prevent further dryness...hope this helps! Good luck!

Excellent advice here..
You could have a bit of allergy from something..
The feverish feeling is something to watch out for.. if it continues see your doctor.. but the hydrocot should help you quite a bit ..
