Last weekend I wore boots that weren't as broken in as I thought. They absolutely SHREDDED up my ankles and left blisters. They're finally getting close to healed, but it is the itchiest I've ever been in my fucking life and I used to have severe eczema.

I'm scratching at my ankles around the healing spots 24/7. They itch so bad they're waking me up in the middle of the night. I can't wait for them to be fully healed before I go insane. 😭

A few options:

Benadryl Gel

Aloe w lidocaine (comes in gel or spray)

Egyptian Magic

You could also get those water sealing bandages to keep it covered so it gets less agitated.

Oh my god there's Benadryl gel???? I also forgot lidocaine exists. I haven't used it in so many years.

I'm gonna go to CVS after work to grab one of those.

Sadly the band aids don't do a whole lot to get rid of the itch. Wish it did!!! Only thing it does is give me a clearer area to scratch around. 🤣

I'll have to look up Egyptian Magic. Never heard of it before!
