Dang it, my back itches.how do I relieve this maddening affliction?

Question:

Answers:
Please don't tell me you are growing the hair out again. Hun.we shaved it to alleviate the roaches from nesting unnecessarily on your body. Now, if you grow the hair back we are just going to have the same issues once more. Now I do realize that the new hair/whiskers will cause a massive itching sensation at first. We could wax your back and take care of that. But you told me after watching the 40 year old Virgin you didn't want to go that route. I respected that. Electralysis is another option. I hear tell that the technicians are rather cute. So think that one over. I'll be damned if I'm going to pluck your back. I don't have time or the ambition. However, I could use the wool for my new parka. Ok let me rethink this. I'll get back to your back as soon as I can.

BACK UP TO A DOOR JAM AND JIGGLE!

do what the bears do, rub against trees..

2 Options.

1. A backscratcher
2. Remove all flesh from your back via a rusty knife.

I always scratch my back by rubbing it against the corner of a wall. Looks stupid, but really helps.

Buy a back scratcher.

1) get a girlfriend

2) ask her to scratch your back

bet it's because marianne shaved all of your back hair!
just glue them back on =)

pay some one scratch it for you!
in our culture we have an expression says:
"no one scratch my back but myself, even for myself I should bow down till my back be scratch!"

Maybe you have serious dry skin. Try soaking in Aveeno, it has oatmeal and other moisturizers that will help. If this is a Real question try it ! otherwise get a backscratcher like all the other people told you to do!

1) buy a backscratcher or use another long object to ease the itch.
2) think about something else, whilst not specifically doing something about the itch, the act of merely thinking about it often makes the itching worse, so if you focus on something else, the itch may go away.

Several factors can cause itchy skin. Is your skin dry? Two changes can help dry skin. First, the way you shower. Use a soap or non-soap cleanser that is formulated for people with dry skin. And don't use soap all over for every shower. Unless you are really foul, just use the soap for places like underarms, boxer area, etc. For the rest of your body, use a rough loofah or a brush to scrub, but no soap. Second, dry skin needs moisture from the INSIDE as well as the outside. Drink more water, at least 2 quarts a day. Coffee, juice, soda, etc, are poor substitues for pure water. Remember, if you put a drop of lemon juice in, it's not water anymore -- it's lemonade.

If the itching is really bad and doesn't respond to dry skin therapy, you may have an allergy. Make changes in products you use on your skin, products you use in your laundry room, and types of fabrics you wear. Experiment, and try to isolate the single factor that causes the itch.

A third possibility is nutritional. For instance, some electrolyte imbalances can cause urticaria [severe itch]. You'd problably need a doctor and lab tests to diagnose that.

Or just keep scratching.

Get your girlfriend (if applicable and possible) to hop in the shower with you, exfoliate your entire body and, after patting you dry gently,massage enormous quantities of lotion into you. If you can't get this service in your area, obtain a long handled scrub brush and perform this ritual on yourself. To apply the lotion to your back, wrap a cloth around the brush and rubber band it in place. You may use television, a magazine or other media as a suitable girlfriend substitute.

gremlins.

To prevent razorburn, which is probably your problem after your little trist with Marianne, I always douse in a lotion called SARNA. It has camphor and menthol in it, and it has a wonderful cooling affect. But NEVER confuse it with lotion for more *ahem* sensitive areas. Cooling affect turns into "AHHH! BRUSH FIRE!!"

forks, long poles, scissors(careful), pens, or a friend

Go steal you a corncob from chillin and grillins outhouse(one that aint been used yet) and mount it on a stick.. this makes a good back scratcher. Dont ask a German woman to scratch your back, they never hit the right spot.

Buy a hundred steel wool. Put them in your bathtub and roll around in it until your back bleeds. You'll thank me in the morning. Or maybe sue me, I'm not sure.
