    My daughter got it really bad a couple years ago, aside from constant itching, she would have episodes of intense pain (the only thing that would "help" was intense cold) took her to the Dr., they gave her a steriod based ointment and within a week it was completely cleared up - big red rough scaly patches, itch, pain everything! Whatever you do, I don't recommend tanning (I see it all the time as a suggestion on this site) heat and sweating triggered the itching and pain for my daughter and many others have said the same. I would also recommend trying Aloe Vera straight from the plant or cucumber slices if you haven't already, both are extremely good for your skin and promote healing.

    Wish you the best of luck!
