Benedryl also makes a topical spray that is very effective for itching.  It works really well on poison ivy. 

Started the benedryl spray yesterday. M looked at it a little bit ago...3 spots are smaller, 1 is the same and the original one is bigger. arggggghhhhh!
Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.

Wow,  I got them in high school and I thought that was late in life.  Hopefully they stay on the less obvious parts of the body.  Mine were only on the back and scalp.

They are on my back, between my boobs, and under one. And I itch. But the dr said I'm past being contagious and he gave me an Rx for a wickedly expensive anti-viral....$111!!!! I have to go back next week so he can see me again to make sure they were chicken pops. We were supposed to go out for dinner with client/friends tonight....he told me to go. Just stay away from babies.

Lucky that they aren't on the face and arms, I've seen some bad scarring from that.

Yow! Ain't that another word for, dare I say? - shingles?

That anti-viral stuff, expensive that it may be, might come in real handy.

Oh, and tell M not to handle your boobs for awhile. At least till the itching goes away.... :naughty:

Shingles was what he first thought it was.....until he saw them and I told him I had never had chicken pox. He didn't believe me on the chicken pox until I told him my mother was a Navy nurse....and that no, I really had never had them. Apparently, shingles follow a nerve path....mine aren't. The aren't any between the ones on the front of me and the ones on the back...which is when he decided they were chicken pops. The only ones on my face are right at the edge of my hairline by my right ear. 

Yea....M said he didn't want me to "handle" him either!  ::)

Yeah...well.....don't think it can't happen!

Weird thing is....I was just talking to someone about chicken pox a couple of weeks ago and said I had never had them and supposed by now that I never would....ha! :banghead:
