I used to put oatmeal on it to dry it out when I was little but couldn't remember exactly how so I looked it up.. It definitely helped. Try this:
Oatmeal, Clorine Paste
I've recently broke out with a bad case of pi. I've always used the ol'calamine lotion, but this bout needed more than that. That's when I visited your web site to see if there was anything I could make around the house to help releave some of the symptoms. I mixed about a cup of water, 2 tbsp of chlorine, a cup of oatmeal, and about 2 dashes of salt together and boiled it. I spread the mix on my wounds, and let it dry, while the mix was still hot. Afterwards I took a shower with hot water. I rubed my sores with rubbing alcohol then put calamine lotion on them...seems like a lot to do, but it imediatly soothed my itching. Also try benadryl alergy pills. All of this does really help. Try it!
