My mom has suffered from itchy skin for years. She triple rinses her laundry, never wears wool or even long sleeves! It has gotten worse since she staretd hot yoga, but like allysa she refuses to give yoga up! Finally she went to a dermatoligist. She said my mom had Atopic Dermatitis (eczema). This disease is common in infants and children but they usually outgrow it. My mom experiences “hot spots” which is severe and intense itching. This is when she is going about her day when all of a sudden she experiences such an urge to itch she wants to cut off the part of her body that is bothering her! The doctor said it might be related to hay fever but, there is no known cause. It might also be caused by a underling staph infection for which she has been given an antibiotic. The doctor also said extereme temperature changes as well as sweating makes it worse. The doctor recomended a cream called Moisturel, the cream not the lotion’ and to apply it while the skin is still wet. It is rather expensive but you do not need a perscription. She also recomended staying away from the heaters in class! My mom has finally found releif from the intense itching and is still able to practice hot yoga. Life is good!!!
