[QUOTE="foxglove, post: 130329, member: 26154"] I suffer from a very sensitive skin which itches a lot from time to time. I do use moisterisers frequently but obviously it doesn't cure the situation. Also have the Aqueous cream that I use instead of soap. Unfortunately I had one of those incidents when I really wanted to get to sleep but had a persistent itch just above my ankle. Losing patience with it I gave one almighty scratch and felt a layer of skin come off. That was over two weeks ago and I tried everything to get it to heal - swabbing it and applying savlon cream, then trying leaving it to dry out but it just got more and more painful. Went to the doctors on Friday who prescribed some antibiotic cream and sent me to the nurse to have it dressed properly. BUT, it's still soo painful. I don't have to go back till Wednesday to have it dressed again. Really worried it may be an ulcer forming although the doctor didn't seem to think so - (but don't trust him all the time!) Would be glad to hear from anyone elses experiences. [/QUOTE]
