Does anyone have Aquagenic Pruritis (itchy skin from any contact with water)?

I have this condition and I don't know what to do about it. I have tried different meds from the doctor and nothing helps. Anyone have it also and how do you deal with it?

Does anyone have Aquagenic Pruritis (itchy skin from any contact with water)?
Treatments can include applying capsaicin cream on the affected areas, and filtered Ultraviolet-B Phototherapy in a hospital or health clinic, often using a vertical light cubicle in which the patient stands for the exposure duration. Some people utilize tanning beds to accomplish such treatment, but skin cancer can become a concern for frequent tanning due to the broader UV spectrum of the beds.





Liberal applications of lanolin-free Aqueous cream, an emollient, on the affected areas after drying-off from a bath or shower can help to reduce the symptoms of the condition. Boots (The Chemist) UK supply such a product without presciption.





Since pruritus is sometimes believed to be a result of histamine, H1 and H2 blockers such as Claritin or Cimetidine may be helpful.





The symptoms may recur after each water exposure for years. Some sufferers control the itch by turning the shower water to hot for the last 5 minutes, and/or using heatpads or hairdryers on their skin immediately after showering. However, others find that excessive heat during bathing can actually worsen the pruritus, and limit the water temperature to tepid. The use of cotton clothes and bedding can prevent itch or provide relief to some sufferers.





Many experts believe the existence of this condition is questionable, as life cannot be sustained without water.
Reply:I don't but my cousin did. He's 20 years younger than me, so I was involved a bit with bathing. Poor kid.





Personally, the thing that worked for him was to use this specially blended lotion my gran made. It had colloidal silver, cocoa butter, shea butter, lavender oils, rose oil, etc. Try to go all natural. It might help you too. I would give you a bottle, but I'm out at the moment, even if I did feel like taking the trouble.





Try going to a hippie store (health food, vitamin store) and ask them for some pure lotions. The problem with many lotions is that they add WATER. Duh. Not so good for you, huh? It will be more expensive, but well worth it. Anyway, it doesn't hurt to try.
