Thanks. |
I know the feeling and I only got a few spots on my legs and stomach. About 16 years ago my son got it real bad, (he was 5 at the time) all over his arms, legs and stomach. Not knowing what it was, we brought him to the ER. They said all you can do is take the Benedryl for the itch. Since that time, we have applied the waterproof sunblock everytime they swam in the shallow end and had very minor problems with the itch. Also, toweling off right after you get out was also recommended. Would love to know the "real cause" someday
