In my case (PI from ankles to shoulders) it was exactly 3 weeks from contact to feeling OK but slight itching still 1 week later due to all the dead skin peeling off (like a sunburn). That is minor and I just keep using moisturing cream. The secret for me was to just resign myself to 2-3 weeks of misery and get on with it. It is a terrible affliction and all I could do is try the treatments suggested on this forum and let it run it's course.My heart goes out to you or anyone with PI and I wish you a speedy recovery. |
