I have very same symptoms as everybone else on the sight. I started itching at about 20. I thought my mom and I where the only ones with this extreme probleme. I am now 47 and stil trying to find a solution. I find that bathing is much beter than a shower. Hot water is a must. Cold water drives me insane. I cant even go out in the rain. Swimming is totaly out. Jacuzzi is like a torture chamber. I'm convinced it has everything to do with our water supplies. Chemicals, adetives etc. . . Differant areas have given better results. The Drakensburg was great. Spring water? Itching also starts when I sweat so the gym is a no no. I was at a skin specialist recently and his advice has helped. I use a baby soap (Bennets). Hardly makes foam and no scent. Before getting out I add a teaspoon of Bennetts baby oil and rub it all over. 90% improvement. I'm convinced there must be some more soultions out there. Would just love to be able to swim again. God bless
