is the Selsun shampoo, which basically kills skin fungi but also is similar to calomine lotion in the way it sort of dries the skin. If it is really bad then I put it on my skin straight from the bottle and leave it on overnight, and then use it like shower gel for a couple of days then I am fine. Of course I have always forgotten to take it with me to Bali. Sometimes I think I am allergic to my own sweat, because if I work up a sweat in the garden here then I get itchy. I have written down Baliku and Ted's tablets/soap/cream/powder names and will get some of each. I am always OK for the first week but after that it seems to flare up, and of course rubbing or scratching only makes it worse. I'm glad to find I am not the only one!
