you think the grass you lay have any affect? what you got growing this time of year there?

no known allergies?

I have been working on figuring this whole thing out....and we have eliminated that it is sunburn defiently....

Ice - decreases itch intensity

Heat - increases itch seemingly without limit

Sleep - only can sleep on stomach and aslong as I have a ice pack on my back.

eating - regular appetite

Hydration - drinking normal amounts of water (100 oz per day)

Rash - a rash broke out after 36 hours, don't know if it is from constant icing....or previous scratching...but haven't scratched it in 24hours and it grows.

experimenting - I've tried every type of lotion I could get my hands on....so I know it isn't dried skin or anything of that type. scratching it gives small relieve with increase intensity.

ok--1 pellet pulsatilla 200c (no handle with hands) in 4 oz of water..stir heavy --take teaspoon dose...in morning 1 hour before eating...only one dose

no rich foods and acidic foods for a while...this means no alcoholic beverages and coffee....

may need repaet dose--but post back after taking and access from there..

just an update....I've just came across another peice of the puzzle...the grass I layed in to rest after working for awhile had no weeds and was green and rich...which hints Fertilizer...I'm going to contact the owner of the property and figure out what type of fertilizer they use, to further in finding a solution

P.S. do I have to take pulsatilla with 4oz water? or can I just put the dose from the bottle under my tounge and let melt (I have the little balls..not powder)
 
JustinSnow last decade
use little balls in water as suggested (4 oz)--not a problem--stir heavy


take puls now---and let me know what exact fertilizer use (if anyat all)..
 
John Stanton last decade
I took the puls 200c w/o water sense I needed to take it before I got that info.....it worked...just diddn't eat 10minutes before and after...and no caffine..surgar and such
 
JustinSnow last decade
ok ....use in water as mentioned ONLY if relapse and post back---eep me informed..

Hi, this is Leonel, I'm from Orlando Fl, and i'm having the exact same problem, I went to Daytona beack last weekend spent 4 hrs in the sun, this morning when I woke up my back was itching rly bad, I ran into my moms room and she put me some aloe lotion, nothing happend, went into the hsower with cold water, then tryed with hot water, still itching, I was running around cause I couldnt stop it, until my mom said it could be the transpiration, so I went back to the shower with cold water and stayed still sitting for like 45 mins and it basically stopped... the thing is that this morning when I woke up I had transpiraiton in my back, but not so much, and then It stopped, later today while cleaning my room and the office I started to perspise and the itching came back, for like 2 hrs I didnt know what to do... that made me look on the web and here I am.

Does your back get sun on a regular basis?
 
JustinSnow last decade
Ok guys here are some things to stop the itch.

1) vinegar neautralizes the itch instantly but mostly for brief periods of time. After which I usually soak in a bath and take a long nap on my back. Laying on your back helps.

2)Lanacane totally stops the itch for 3-5 hours, usually it goes away within a day or so but it is quite annoying
