I use icy hot to calm itch attacks. Sounds like you're having one like I get. Makes me wanna literally jump off a bridge but I know better so I get my back scratcher cause when I have severe itch attacks it's mainly my back that gets red hot with itch. I get my back scratcher and squeeze a quarter inch bead of icy hot about 8 inches long on the length of the back scratcher and smear the icy hot all over my back with it. After the burning stops the itch has calmed or left by then. WARNING : not certain of the validity of the articles but I read one case resulted in death using muscle creams like icy hot on large areas of the body, can be risky. I'm 6' 220lbs and have used more than an ounce at a time on my body after and during hot showers which amplifies the dose. So far I've had no ill effects I can tell but that might not be true for everyone so so proceed with caution. It's the Methyl Salicylate that's the problem. High doses of menthol are also dangerous (but has been a major help for me coping with this torture). Google it up. Hope you the best. ❤️

Carol my face and butt stay flared up. They are always open and raw and painful to the touch!! I have to lay from side to side when they are on my bottom!!

Does this ever go away?
I have it really bad on my back and butt. My places are raw.
