I'm allergic to something...
 

...and it's making my right leg itchy and red and spotty from my hip down past my knee. I know I'm allergic to latex, but I don't remember anything, latex or otherwise, rubbing just on my right leg so I have no clue what's putting me through this hell and therefore how to avoid it in the future.

I can't find the calamine lotion..anyone know any good home remedy for an allergic skin reaction? :(

i am a southerner.we KNOW itches.....try a bathtub of lukewarm water with either a whole box of oatmeal or a lot of baking soda mixed in....soak a while

Aloe lotion or Noxeema?..maybe it was a bug bite?

Hmmm, I do have some ground up oatmeal in a jar from when my baby had a diaper rash and was getting oatmeal baths..I'll have to give that a shot.

I don't have any aloe, but I bet it would feel great if I did!

It's not a bite, or if it is, it's not visible at all. I have taken to slapping it to ease the itch, but it makes it hurt. I can handle pain better than itching though, lol.

awww, that's awful! drink a lot of water it would be a good start--water therapy!

It sure couldn't hurt, lol!

try using cetaphil lotion, it will keep your skin hydrated which will avoid itching. other lotion might just cause irritation especially those scented ones

I'll be stocking up at the pharmacy tomorrow, lol..I have little ones in bed and no other adult here so I'm stuck making due with what I have around the house. Thankfully I had thought of at least using non-scented or colored lotion, lol..
And I'm off to soak in an oatmeal bath now. Guess my bits will be especially smooth and soft tomorrow, lolol!

damn that really sux!! hope it helps.

Maybe soaking in warm water..drinking it helping ?

happens to me.. everytime there's a change in climate.. I have these allergies may it be in my skin or makes me sneeze all the time!

Hope calamine and water therapy works for you or even take some benadryl..

Best to go see a doc and get some ointment

drinking water will wash away toxins in our body that sometimes causes allergies....i don't say that it's the only cure but it may help. :thumbsup
