Asked By:momo2012 in Indianapolis, IN

I am itching so bad I am causing bruises and actually damage my skin because of the consistent itching. I only have the steri stripes left around my belly button and have removed the others in hopes for relief. I wear a compression band but separate it by wearing a cotton undershirt so it does not rub and prevent sweating. In general I have severe skin allergies and doc took lots of precautions to try to help me. No rash just terrible itching. I need help getting the itching under control.
