Errant Use Of Biological Washing Liquid

[Tilly2]

I bought a bottle of Bold liquid, thinking, I'll try this. I normally always use fairy Non-Bio.

I now have patches of irritated skin where the seams of my clothes lie.

What can I put on the flare-ups ? They are driving me mad!

What was I thinking?
Stupid!

Hydrocortisone cream

[ubasses]

anti histamine cream, if that doesn't work hydrocortisone 1%

[Tilly2]

I have some hydrocortisone. I'll try that. Thank you both.

Argggggh!

[237SJ]

1% hydrocortisone should sort it out.

[Tilly2]

I do hope so, 237. Thanks.

Sorry to say this Tilly2 but if it ain't broke don't fix it - should have stuck with Fairy Non Bio - hope things improve soon as I've had reactions to things are they are the pits.

[Tilly2]

I know, Rsvp. I won't do it again. :-(

chin up tilly2 - just as a thought - I had a huge reaction to somethig a few years ago which drove me stark raving mad - the only think that helped was porridge oats soaked in water then strained through a cloth - then I dabbed the area with the oat filled cloth and kept it wet by dipping it in the strained water - at one stage I was so desperate I threw a load of oats in the bath and soaked in it then put a cloth over the plug hole to drain out the water - bliss.

A slice of cucumber is also very soothing.

sounds like a good Scottish home recipe, rsvp

[rsvp]

jno I have little or no connection with Scotland but life has taught me a lot of down to earth good common sense emanates from north of the border! Porridge is my breakfast of choice at least four mornings a week - terrific stuff.

OK rsvp, I get the bit about enjoying porridge oats for breakfast. However, can you take me through your thought process from porridge for breakfast to slapping it all over your body for relief to having a bath in it please;-))??

[rsvp]

Just run a bath - throw in a load of oats and relax - make sure you put a strainer over the plughole when emptying the bath - alternatively, put the oats in a muslin cloth (or tea towel) and hang this over the tap when filling the bath -works every time for me

I agree with the porridge oats in the bath, I use part of a old pair of tights to put then in, tied on the end(s), stick it under the running tap then stick it in the water and swoosh about to get the oatiness out. Ahh the days when I could get in a bath, let alone tights haha!

I have porridge for breakfast every morning though, love it!

Porridge in the bath! That's one way of getting your oats, Tilly ;-)
