Itchy shins

[2000AD Online]

They're driving me crazy. Anyone know of a cure? Or at least something that will make the irritation more bearable?

Rub some salve onto it dude.

Actually I never really say dude, I'm just trying to project an aura of stupidity.  As weird skin complaints seem to run in the family I can advise you (it isn't the same complaint, we aren't that close).

Any sort of skin lotion will probably do, people may be suspicious of your motives for buying the johnson's baby oil, but rub in some E45 Lotion and it will take the agony away.  Any female in your house probably has some suitable stuff but it may go by a weird name.

Hope that's of some help

Y'know, I've tried E45, or something similar, and I'm still damn near the bone.

Well, E45 cream is crap, the lotion is quite soothing.  The difficulty is (and I don't want to squeam people out here) is to stop the scratching bit which just makes it worse.  If you stop scratching it will get better.  Instead of scratching, rub some lotion on it. Wear jeans, do something as long as it stops you scratching.

Basically would Dredd scratch?  No.  Think of Joe and you'll be okay.  (was that a lame attempt to get back on topic?)

My brother recently went for tests (Fortunately for us he isn't pregnant) and he was found to have an allergy to dust.  Which is a shame as he is a lazy sod.  However the die in blue clothes is quite common too apparently.

You're quite right. I remember a dredd strip from yesteryear in which he was the only one who didn't succumb to some mutant flea infestation.

Hydrocortizone. Available over the counter from any pharmacy. Works on eczma (sp?), insect bites and any number of rashes, so it might be worth a go.

Blimey - helpful advice? I must be ill ...

Cheers
