Purrs, please

I often get a little itchy in the winter, nothing too serious. This
year, I seem to have a near-full-body case of dermatitis. I feel as if
I am being slowly roasted over an open flame. The areas of itching are
too big for those little bottles of ointment, although I am earnestly
trying to stay moisturized. This winter has been one stupid thing
after another for me. Could you please purr that my skin calms down
soon? I am off to take an oatmeal bath.
Try zyrtec. You can get it over the counter now.

My girlfriend has had this, and what worked better for her than
Zirtek was Periactin (cyproheptadine). It's a very old drug and
one of the cheapest on the market - most pharmacists don't keep
it in stock (doesn't make them enough money) but they can get it
on special order. It may make some people sleepy, but usually
not after the first couple of times you've tried it.

Check what's in whatever you're using as a moisturizer. Marion
turned out to be violently allergic to one of the commonest
preservatives used in skin creams. Baby creams generally have
less allergenic stuff in them.
