Aurora1 - look back on some of the original posts, there are some great topicals you can get otg or from the dr to help with the itching. Strange thing about itching, the more you scratch, the worse it gets!
IR does seem to make this appear and more aggressively if the insulin is very high. I used to get it under my breasts and never knew what it was. I used cornstarch to help keep it dry and not itch, now that my insulin is reduced, it has gone away. Wish I could say the same for the kin tags!
