Itchy Itchy Itchy!!!

Does anyone get unbelievably, overpoweringly itchy after swimming? It is so bad some nights that I literally can't get to sleep! It is worst where my skin is getting stretched or where it is touching the couch or bed or whatever, and it is pretty much restricted to my upper body... I at least rinse off after each workout, if not take a full on shower.. Anyone else get this, or have any solutions? Help! :confused:

  • I am religious about my lotion application after working out. If I miss any little spot, it will itch and drive me crazy. That stretchy-skin feeling that you mentioned -- that's exactly how I'd describe it. If black rasberry vanilla is too girly for you (I love Bath and Body Works or Victoria's Secret lotions because they disguise the cholrine smell), then try an unscented lotion such as Vaseline Intensive Care or Lubriderm. I get them at Costco in the gigantic sizes and go through about one a month.
