I said in original thread I will call doctor in AM. I also found the care instructions that said take up to three every four hours and call her. I had already taken four. It has not done me in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerrySTL ★ Posted August 6, 2020 Share #5 Posted August 6, 2020 I got a bad rash from Irish Spring soap. I'd had about 4 beers before getting the shower using the soap. I then went to an ER. The doc prescribed Benadryl (I forget how much) and I slept for 12 hours straight. Rash was mostly gone by then. Good stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted August 6, 2020 Share #6 Posted August 6, 2020 I may have taken 4 a few times, but I can't advise it. I just finished a round of steroids prescribed for a bad skin reaction, so I know how miserable it can be. Can you try a cold ice pack for the itch?

Not ER-visit worthy, but it makes me want to take a belt sander to my skin (And I had the opposite reaction to alcohol + Benadryl - I got really wired.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works well and doesn't irritate my skin and has no "scent" to annoy me as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Silly Posted August 6, 2020 Share #11 Posted August 6, 2020 I've taken 2 with a couple shots of bourbon. Slept well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO gets fancy artisanal, handmade, free range, heirloom. Fair Trade. humanely harvested soap from one of her friends and that seems to be ok. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So does Oil of Olay soap if I'm having any dry skin problems. Like you, perfumed soaps are a no-go for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Essential oils seem to be OK) Idiots have completely wiped out the soap aisle in the LGS, so the fancy homemade soaps are about our only option.
