itch, scratch, ouch
When I'm stressed, I tend to break out in hives. Not head to toe itchy red bumps, just an occasional itchy little bump here and there. Ankles, forearms, back of the neck, odd places. And those buggers don't stop itching until I scratch them raw. Sometimes they continue itching even after that, so I'm scratching, scratching, scratching....... So just lately, bandaids have been my best friends. As soon as the bandaid goes on, the urge to scratch is greatly diminished.
