Janelle,
Well instead of warm water I would suggest hot water.I know when the water is hot enough because it soothes on cantact when it is working. Warm tepid water produces no soothing feeling.
Water so hot that it almost is burning is what I found works and this treatment has been a godsend for me.Takes away the itch.
Sometimes I have to "direct" the water flow when the stream from the shower is too "broad". For instance on my feet I fill up a plastic bottle with hot water and pour it directly onto my feet.
I would NOT suggest tring to do it in a bath tub.
