hot weather = itchy

what do you do to try to cool off during hot summer days?

any tips?

when i get hot and sweaty I tend to get extremely itchy.

  1. I hear you, I can get crazy itch sometimes, I have noticed it can be intense on humid days. I use CeraVe anti itch cream. it works quite well for me, I have also used Benadryl spray for my back and it works as well. I use the products before I go out to walk or exercise and it does prevent the itching. Hope this helps

    1. I did not know also that there was a spray. This is a good idea since ive been going out hiking i think it would be helpful to carry around the spray in my backpack.


      thanks for the suggestion 😀

    2. Hi Chellye - this is really great! Thanks for sharing! I did not know you get Benadryl as a spray!! Wondering if you can use it on broken skin??? Pete (AtopicDermatitis.net Team Member)

  2. , I use cool water on my face and neck if I don’t have time for a cool shower. Otherwise, I stay inside with the air conditioner when possible. Cora Lyn, AtopicDermatitis.net Team Member

    1. Yes! I have been taking extremely cold showers i find that does help and also using cold packs.
