HEY Meg! We're soul mates in the itch department. Kewl! LOL

I advocate oatmeal too...but I'm too cheap to buy it. Just kidding. I've

purchased the product you described and found it good for itching, too.

BUT...here's one for you folks that like the easy way out...using whatever

is on hand. I learned this when my kids had chicken pox. You take an

sock...that you don't really care to use again....and take a handfull of

oatmeal (instant or regular, doesn't matter). Put the oatmeal in the

bottom of the sock....tie a knot just above it...or twist it real well.

Then, soak the oatmeal ball in warm water....just running it under the

faucet will do the trick. Then either dab it on your skin, or you and

squeeze the milky fluid out into a bowl and use it like a lotion or put it

on you like soap in the bath. Pretty kewl, eh?

Take care,
