They still pop up whether I touch them or not!
I use “Drunk Elephant” brand “Kamili” cream almond body wash, charcoal soap and mild herbal soaps.
I actually think I had this on my scalp for many years. My physicians said it was from stress. I have had a very stressful decade of life-changes & that in addition to my thyroid disease & anxiety, might have been a contributor to it migrating to other parts of my body.
So I use Olaplex products on my hair which is extremely soothing and have had a lot less since I’ve been using their products.
I find that swimming in salt water dries all but the worst of them out & I feel half human so
I recently tried a small amt of baking soda in a bath w/sea salt and no itch for one night! It’s a good skin purifier but you don’t wanna do too much of that because you could get yeast infections from sitting in a tub with this lol! Maybe a waterproof, bathing suit bottom in the tub?!! it actually could also cause bloating. Always something!
I just received my orders of almond oil, vitamin E oil, dead sea salt & epsom. I’m trying homeopathic recipes on my body in small doses before jumping in a bathtub. The water can’t be hot because that can irritate our condition so unfortunately it’s not as pleasant as a nice hot bath. Luke warm seems to be OK. My skin feels good in saltwater so I I’m trying to use this as my winter regiment.
Here is another way I both cover the irritations & feel better, I don’t know if this will work for everyone but dermablend camo make up that I wore to cover them when I had some social engagements last summer actually stopped the itching and inhibited spread. I don’t know if that’s because they were being suffocated? I’m going to buy more and see if I use it regularly if it halts the progression & eases the pain & itch.
This is war! It hurts my sleep, my peace, my skin which I used to get comments on being beautiful and soft! Don’t let PN define you! I won’t let this demean me. I just wish there were safer alternatives than steroids, antihistamines & prescription drugs that potentially have bad side effects.
I will share what I discover with my topical recipes!
ALL BE WELL 🙏🏻

It doesn't matter if I scratch or not. Stress and emotions are huge physical trigger. If I can clear up my forearms anytime soon, I think I will be getting sleeve tattoos to cover my scars

@A MyPrurigoTeam Member you might try making a sugar scrub with sugar added to a little dilution of epsom salts & baking soda dissolved in aloe and shampoo (or even a light-weight hair oil). That way you can put the paste directly onto your wet scalp and then you would not be sitting in the salt/sugar water. Primary ingredient would be sugar so you wouldn't sting your sores with the salts. The sugar scrub could gently exfoliate and will dissolve in the shower.
