After two miserable weeks of red blisters and nights without sleep the only products that really gave me any relief at all were zanfel and natural colloidal oatmeal. Zanfel is available at Wal-mart stores $35.00 for 1 ounce (stops the itch in 30 seconds). It's much like a sugar scrub and is safe for children and pregnant or nursing women. The oatmeal comes in packets as a soothing bath treatment (look for the generic brand name or Aveeno which is a little more expensive). I would mix the oatmeal in just a little water making a paste then I would cover the blisters with the paste. Each product helped to stop the itch and dry up the blisters. After a total meltdown from the itch and sleepless nights before using these products I now sleep for most of the night and see the end in sight. Remember even this will pass!
