    Thanks Suki I will take it back tomorrow... Trust me to get the wrong one. Oh well its no big deal as long as they exchange it and if they don't at least I can use even if its not as effective its useable so we'll see.

    Thanks again

    Just had a look and the shampoo you bought has half as much of the active ingredient details here: http://www.nizoral.co.uk/Know-more-about-anti-dandruff-shampoo---Nizoral_337_337_.html

    It would still work but not was well or as quickly, so I would change it if possible. Because it is cheaper you might want to use it in between the Nizoral or once it you skin is under control use it to maintain a low level of yeast, but for now you want to kill as many as you can so use the stronger one for a couple of weeks.

    Bottoms..........

    Noticed I started itching again towards end of day yesterday........... not so much the face.

    Its got to be stress related. I could feel myself tensing and feeling really fed up knowing going back to work today! I always feel like I need just one more day... and so on....

    Its been a busy hectic day and my face and well, pretty much everywhere is itchy and as if I've got insects burrowing around under my skin on my back - which is where I get my worst ezcema.

    Plus I am now probably wearing a lovely foundation of brake dust mixed with diesel aroma, toner - courtesy of petrol... :rotfl:

    My Elemental Beauty foundation and healing concealer arrived today - pretty box and lovely wrapping, the pots are lovely - will probably try it at the weekend as I really don't have time to mess around in the mornings - and don't want to try anything new just yet!

    Km - my legs went mentally itchy last night - had to put betnovate on as it was ezcema areas playing up. Tonight - my arms are going mental, but don't normally get ezcema there - it just looks dry.

    Is someone messing with our water or what? Does make one wonder...

    Sorry to have gone on for so long - had to get it all out of my system. :D

    I also get very itchy inside my ears?? And at times the itching on my scalp feels like there is something lightly crawling over it!!! I've read that tea tree oil is a good treatment for it as it is an anti fungal has anyone tried it and I can I put tea tree directly in my ears?

    When my scalp is at its most itchy is when everywhere else becomes itchy and my skin on my face is at its worst?

    AGGGGGGHHHHHHH

    I get itchy inside my ears too, my doctor says I've got a bit of exemema (sp?:o ) in there. Luckily I don't have it anywhere else.
    Doctor gives me a mild steroid type cream to put in there when its really itchy & tells me to drop in olive oil often.

    See when they get itchy I shove cotton buds down there & scratch with them, so I give myself ear infections:o often:o

    I get itchy legs too (after saving, no I don't get anything like that, well I do in my ears but no-where else, well actually I do in my legs as well, but no-where else:rolleyes: :o ).

    My legs itch on the front on the bottom half under the knee, I think its too do with shaving.

    I got the E45 itchy cream, its OK, helps a little. I think it might just be shaving drying the skin out:mad:
    I will work my way through all the itch creams as I use them. I can then report back on what ones work;)

    Ouch - been there done that....:eek:

    Meanwhile I've used a very expensive moisturiser tonight - E45 - tomorrow morning I'll be having my second hsampoo or even shampoo with the Nizoral.

    I'm now going to fall into bed as am cream crackered.

    Going back to work and getting up early and going to bed early is seriously affecting my MSE posting........ :(:(:(

    I think that yes stress is not helping with the itching but I also think that the diesel and brake dust is playing a huge part. Hopefully the Liz Earle will turn up soon and then hopefully cleansing will be a more pleasurable experience. I think you ordered the light moisturiser? Hopefully that will be enough of a barrier on your face to stop the diesel settling. It may well be worth looking for an all over barrier cream? My husband is a bricklayer and like most brikkies he gets cement dermatitis - well he did before he used Neutrogena hand cream on the advice of a dermatologist - such a stong barrier hes not had a problem since

    I think it is a qualification not a brand!
