Suffering from Itchy Back After Shower - Seeking Cure

[wolram]

Geez, you're a cynical wench. Ignore her, Wooley; she's just trying to propogate the myth than women are more perceptive than they pretend to be.
By the way, packing your showerhead with sodium should eliminate the problem.

Thanks Danger, but it is all ways women that serve at chemists, and i am sure
what Hypatia said is true, i think i will just suffer the itching if changing my
brand of soap and shampoo doesn't work.

Why just his back then? I think he just needs a nice wolewe to scratch his back for him.

Any volunteers?

If no ones looking, a stout tree works well.

there isn't talc in tiger balm!
it's menthol and camphor and other stuff in a ... well... balm kinda like a very very firm gel/soft wax kinda thing.

I don't use the stuff myself - so I don't know. I just went with what I was told by my wife. Even if she is wrong, she is right.

Actually I found -

Tiger Balm is a unique blend of the finest quality essential oils. The active ingredients are camphor, menthol, cajuput oil, mint oil and clove oil. The actions and traditional use is shown in the table below. See packs for full ingredients.

When Tiger Balm is applied to the skin, the rubefacient and analgesic properties provide symptomatic relief from the pain and discomfort associated with the muscular aches and pains of muscle and joints, arthritis, rheumatism and backaches. The active ingredients in camphor and the essential oils in Tiger Balm dilate the peripheral blood vessels and bring blood closer to the skin’s surface. This produces increased circulation and warmth. The increase in blood flow speeds up the healing process. This also increases the temperature of the skin and the sensation of warmth serves as a distraction from the pain. The local analgesic effect reduces the sensation of pain.

And it BALM not BAUM.

And there is Badger Balm as well. But I don't use that either.

I use Zest, Irish Spring or Dove deodorant soaps - and I have naturally oily skin - and I sweat a lot.

*cough*splutter*cough* who called it BAUM? not I! *cough*spluter*cough*

It's the shampoo causing my itchy back.

Then my dear you must stop using the shampoo which readily appears on the bathroom shelf in the form of supermarket own brand chapo jumbo bottles.

Get your self to any half decent supermarket and buy a proper shampoo - ughhhhh and don't get one of those horrid 2-in-1 things either.

Shampoo opens the hair cuticle allowing cleaning, conditioner closes and smooths the hair folicle. 1 product can not satifactorily do both, and yes, you should use both. Conditioner helps make sure all traces of shampoo are cleansed out the hair.

In fact doing this may help the itchy back!
