Has anyone heard of an alle..

I used Satin Care shave gel when shaving the other night. When I dried myself off, my legs were suddenly very very itchy. I thought I rubbed my legs too hard with the towel, but the itching persisted. I went and rubbed ice on my legs, and then promptly applied anti-itch cream. However, the scratching from the beginning of the irritation left horrible red marks all over my legs.

Two questions at this point: Do you think it was an allergic reaction, and how badly could the scratching have damaged my skin?

to say all of that.. next time put baby powder on it.. you just burned your legs that is all.. the ice will induse the pain.. the anti itch will burn the surface. next time for any burns..

BABY POWDER.. EVEN SUN BURNS.. don't use oils or lotions.. use baby powder.

I am from CALIFORNIA I AM A OLD SURFER.. I LIVED AT THE BEACH I EAT, DRANK AND SLEPT THE BEACH.. AND I BURNED LIKE CRAZY..

so i know from first hand.. just 3 weeks or so ago.. i got sunburned.. and baby power took away the pain and i tanned.. most of the time you will not peel it all depends on how Burnt you are.. oils will make blisters.. but baby powder softens the skin and makes it happy..

Scratching didn't damage your skin. And yes. People are allergic to all kinds of things.
