@@TheNipsterOfAllTwist yeah I had it a couple years back just wanted to remind myself I didn’t even take a bath I just layed on the floor till it was finished
@@jobiwankenobi5986 damn bruh, courageous. hot bath was instant relief and even lasted for a solid 30 mins after, and benadryl makes it extremely bearable. like you only get a few itch pings every few minutes. i had it literally today it was awful before the bath lolll
Man I just had this yesterday and still today I can feel it but 90% less. It all started when I came home about 3pm after taking a shower, 2-3 minutes later I started feeling the itching, and oh boy I didn’t know what to do with myself. I was going back and forth in my room just scratching myself but just when I scratched one spot, the other one was itching and them when I scratched that spot, the spot before started itching again, it was unbearable I cannot explain how tough this was, I noticed that the wind helped me so I just sat in front of my fan trying to get rid of itching and it did, but only if knew it was for just a short period of time, 30-45 minutes later I had another episode which. I don’t know if it was worse than the previous one, I was screaming because I just didn’t know what to do with my self, mentally I was out of this world. I just wanted to rip my skin apart and be done with the itching. Important thing for anybody experiencing this you REALLY need someone with you it is crucial because at the moments I had my episodes of attacks I was prepared to do anything and I mean anything just to stop the pain. Anyways I took pills for stress relief, for alergies, drank a lot and when I say a lot I mean a lot of water, was always putting some kind of cream from aloe vera and some cream for the sun burns. Anyways hours have passed I had few minor attack episodes but they went pretty ok. Then at 11pm I decided to try to sleep so I can somehow “survive” that horrible day, and than OMG I was having the worst episode since the start I was about to go insane so I wen’t to the doctor, just to hear oh yeah don’t worry man up and it will be ok, I mean what the f, really, this doctor obviously never had patient that had this, note this doctor was like the head doctor in the biggest and main clinical center in whole country!!! Anyways car ride back home helped me relieve some of the itching because I said that in my case direct strong wind helped me cope with it. I came home put the aloe vera cream to cool of, put the cream for the burns and then, yes, you guessed it BIGGEST EVER F ING EPISODE EVERRRR, I started crying I didn’t know what to do my mom was frightened I ran into the bathroom and started showering the spot but if I just didn’t shower one place for just a second I was in extreme pain, I was praying to god to just stay alive and sane, the itching OMG I cannot explain, I was in shower for about an hour than the itching was lets say medium but I couldn’t shower more because there was no more water left in the boiler and it was freezing cold, anyways I lay on the bed in extreme pain, remember I watched some random yt video and then my lack of sleep helped me somehow fall asleep and I really don’t remember how. I woke up at aroun half 7 this morning and I still feel a little bit of itching but oh boy this does not compare to the anything I have experienced yesterday. I hope it gets better soon and that I will stop feeling the itching. It has been 12+ hours or to be exact from around 3pm to 6:30 am the next day. Also hahaha next to the itching I have second degree burns only because of the sun. So please guys wear sunscreen, and stay in the shade in the hottest part of the day. I made that mistake, I went to the pool two days before and been almost the whole day out in the sun. FOR ALL OF YOU FOLKS GOING THROUGH THIS IT WILL GET BETTER, I don’t know what else to say, because you will hear from the others stay strong, but oh boy is that gonna be a big job. I was reading through comments so I decided to share my story that might help someone. Love yall ❤️
You kept making it worse with the use of the aloe vera cream. It might work for normal sunburns but not this evil motherfucker. It makes the next attacks worse. Much like hot showers. I just had this yesterday. Lasted me about 15hrs until i finally passed out from the sedative i used to sleep because it was unbearable. Legit cancelled all work and slept for 18 hrs. Appreciating life today 😅
Spent a few hours out in the lake two days ago. This afternoon I started to feel the tingling and itching and thought it was just normal itchy sunburn. At 9 PM just took a normal shower as usual. When I got out that’s when it all started. Everything kicked in at once and I started freaking tf out. I was running back and forth in my house not knowing what to do wanting to tear the skin off my body. I know what you mean it’s the middle of the night rn and I’m afraid of another episode. Thanks for the advice I hope it goes away soon. Has to be one of the worst feelings known to man.
Looking back at this video remedies start at 4:46 in the video. I’ve been to Mexico twice since making this video and wore sunscreen religiously, and I never got Hells itch again. Glad everyone survived this. Love you all!
I had hell’s itch on my shoulders and back one time and it was the absolute most excruciating pain/itch I’ve ever felt in my life! And I’ve broken my arm in 6 places before. I would rather take the broken arm.
Everyone commenting while they were going through the worst of it astounds me. I could not even take my hands off my body to type. I was also too busy battling with the extreme suicidal thoughts that came with this devilish torture
Same it took me 5 mins of jumping to get my underwear and shorts and 40mins finding stuff to scratch my back with now I’m laying on my hotel bed rolling left to right and it’s kinda helping
I just had this last night for the third time in my life. It is excruciating torture. Do not take a bath or use aloe or cream. Get a soft blanket and brink it back and forth over your back or torso. It will go away. Usually it lasts 30 minutes for me, but last night it went on for an hour and a half. I was rolling on the ground bat shit crazy for forever man. I would have gone to urgent care but i would have crashed my car on the way. You can't die from it, wait it out and enjoy the cred afterwards of getting through torture like a friggin double agent spy who gets waterboarded and doesn't break. Stay mentally strong, if you feel suicidal tell someone immediately of your brains intensions to escape the pain. Drink lots of water and take benadryl and ibuprofen. Keep your shirt on, for some reason it helps and other people saying it helps online. I read an article where a marine said it makes Marines cry who go through it, sometimes worse than childbirth. Feels validating, and tie that with knowing it won't last more than and hour and a half will give you some mental strength.
@@user-nu6vq1su4k I’m with you on that. This is my second day having it. The itch never goes away, it just has periods where it’s horrible! A shower is the only form of quick relief I have
@@jamievlogsmore6078 make sure when you shower the water is hot. Cold water irritates it. Hot water makes it go away for as long as the hot water lasts
I’m 13 and I have had this once before, I was 9, my poor nine year old self had no idea what was coming and let me tell u, my parents told me they considered locking me in a room to get it all out, when I was nine I did nothing, I screamed and let nobody help me, but now I’m 13 and am going through it right now, it’s slowing down and I’m getting my mind off of it but I just decided to watch this vid and read the comments to know that I’m not alone, thanks to everyone and this guy for helping me out in this unbearable time! :)
When you said you felt traumatized I head you!!! I was so scared I couldn’t sleep, i was screaming at the top of my lungs in pain and agony. Nothing made it better exclamation 4 Benadryl’s and 4 ibuprofen
I'm having it now. I tried showering and it helped a bit. My wife applied cortisol cream but it didn't affect much. I was almost crazy and I would tear my skin. Nothing was helping at all. I started doing meditation to sleep. I literally cut all the movements and desire to scratch below my head. I had weird dreams and also woke up about 10 times. But I could sleep 3.30 hours now. I feel much better and bearable. Just don't scratch whatever you're going through. Run in the house, take shower, use wet fabric on your itchy parts, apply cortisol cream, take sleeping pills etc. But never scratch! Otherwise it will be hellish. Now I will try to sleep again. Wish me luck...
Going through it right now. Good to know I’m not alone, and either are you, reader. Went to the doctor and they weren’t helpful at all. I have to buy a car tomorrow and go to work, I don’t know if I’ll be able to handle it. Godspeed everyone
this is the worst thing in life it has to be id rather be buried alive than this! I've been sunburnt before and never had this. Benadryl ibuprofen has worked for me. It wore off and I showered mild hot as much as i could take. Got out and it came back with a fury. Just took more benadryl and ibuprofen. This is HELL.
Was just going through this. Got the sunburn on Thursday, the itch came on Saturday evening. Oh Sweet GOD...it was just insane!! I took a shower could barely dry off without going through the painful itch. I used AloeCane and that wasn't instant I also took 2 Benadryl and that is now lessening the itch but not completely. I'm hoping that this ends soon, please GOD I'm praying this ends soon!
Im not very good with words but i can say this.. I was going through this exact thing. The ONE thing that really HELPED me with it was to wrap myself in a blanket in a WARM-HOT ROOM and literally sweat. It sounds weird but apparently raising your bodies temperature stops it. I couldn't believe it. DON'T TAKE SHOWERS OR HAVE A BATH. As soon as you get out it's going to start again. I know its the heat that helps because when i go outside for a smoke without my blanket on I can feel the itch coming back. I really hope people see this & it helps them like it did with me. You got this man, it's fucking excruciating. Would rather somebody snap both my arms in half with a sledgehammer than have to sit through that again.
I’ve had Anastasia wear off while I was getting stitches and this pain is still 1000 miles ahead of that pain this is really the most unbearable thing I’ve ever felt definitely like straight torture
I moved to Hawaii about seven months ago and I went to the beach here and there but I never stayed out for more than an hour. I went with my friend to a birthday party and we were out there for over eight hours and I totally forgot sunscreen. I have the worst sunburn I’ve ever had in my life. The pain was slowly starting to go away but last night I started getting really itchy on my back and I thought maybe I had an ant crawling on me, my mom told me to take a cold bath but it only got worse from there. I started crying and screaming and cussing it was so unbearable and I literally felt like killing myself… My mom gave me Benadryl and two doses of sleeping medicine, she called the doctors and they said it was okay to do so. The Benadryl didn’t help me for some reason and the only way that it would stop was if my mom lightly touched my back and moved her hand over it slowly and it gave me the chills but it helped she did this for almost an hour and every time she stopped it instantly came back, she got tired and went to sleep bc it was like 12:00. Even though I took two doses of sleeping meds I haven’t been able to sleep I tossed and turned and was itchy all night but I wasn’t as bad. I just can’t wait for this to go away
Got the worst hell’s itch 2 years ago. Absolute hell. If you get it immediately hop in the hot shower and ask someone to get you peppermint oil its the ONLY thing that truly works. Tried everything ,pills, weed, spent 75$ on many creams and nothing worked except that. Cake it on and brace yourself for 48hours of pure hell. I have a very high pain tolerance and this was so awful wouldnt wish it on anyone.
This is the worst thing I have ever experienced. Nothing can compare. Years of crushing depression, poverty, hunger, illness. All that is in my past is insignificant compared to the indescribable agony that I felt until about an hour ago. After a shower/bath, copious amounts of aloe Vera gel, 800 mg of ibuprofen, and lots of hydrocortisone it’s still present. However, I am now able to do a bit more than writhe, grunt, and scream in agony and anger. I begged to God to make it stop and received no answer. It was the most defeated I’ve ever felt. It is on much of my chest and back and feels like fire ants are biting me all over UNDERNEATH my skin. Scratching only makes the fire burn hotter and spread like through a dry and dead forest. I have a high pain tolerance and rarely complain of normal pain, but this is humbling. Please if you are reading this, WEAR SUNCSCREEN.
im sitting and watching this in bed at 4:19 AM while im suffering with this itch what makes it worse is that im on vacation so god please make it better ive tried so many things
Thanks for the video, going through this right now. For me I have popped some Benadryl & Ibuprofen and just keep a cool wet towel on my back. This seems to be keeping it bearable, but it sucks because the Benadryl is making me sleepy but it is still bothering me enough I can’t sleep.... GO AWAY!!!
I went through it and i couldnt even google it to ser whats happening. I couldnt even pick up the phone or even type bro. This is the worst pain in the world. I pray to everyone having it.
Thank you so much!! Earlier today I was going crazyy!! It was so bad felt like something was trying to scrap my skin off puttin hot sauce on it. I’m jus scared it’s gonna come back tmr 😫 it’s scary how bad it gets. Happy u got threw it and thank you for this video!! It really helps!
I had this feeling yesterday and today i feel like a tweaker because every time the pulses of the itch comes i jump. Its crazy as shit. I wanted to pull out my hair and cried.
I’m dealing with this right now I am going crazy. I’ve not slept for two days, I’ve took all the medicine all the showers that just made mine worse! I’m so tired but can’t sleep.
My husband is going through this right now. Thanks for making the video to help others, he’s absolutely miserable and I’m doing everything I can to help but it looks agonizing. I’ve never seen anyone in this much pain
I’ve been through this several times myself on my back and my feet. I too was pushed tot he point of insanity where I wanted to cut my feet off to spare myself from the torture. Poison ivy,bug bites etc are not a comparison at all to this. Multiply it by 100 is more comparable. I’ve been to 2 dr’s which got it wrong twice then went to a dermatologist for it one of the last times I had it on my feet which kept me awake for a couple days unable to sleep. He got it right. He said the reason the itching feels like it’s firing off and itches severely it’s because my nerve endings were most likely inflamed due to the sunburn. It’s usually easy to spot not by a typical looking sunburn but every time I’ve had personally it it will appear red blotchy in that area. Typically I get it on my back but did have it once on the top of my feet but never on places normally exposed and tanned like my arms. Mine usually last 2-3 days of sever itching like your nerves are firing but with a extreme itch then tapers off. He’s on the right track by taking Benadryl that’s what my dermatologist told me to take but I was given a double dose. (not sure if that was just to help me sleep or if he always recommends a double dose for that)He also had me use ice packs on the infected area which does help soothe it but whatever you do DON’T apply heat it will only make it much more worse as if it wasn’t bad enough already. Also get hydrocortisone and Eucerine mix it 50/50 and apply to the area. Any NSAID does help with the inflammation also so he’s right on that part too. If you pale skinned like me be careful in the earlier parts of the summer when you haven’t tanned yet and are still adjusting to the sun. That’s usually when it strikes. Make sure to use sunblock even if you think your not going to burn and if your burn easy like me keep covered and use umbrellas when on the beaches when possible and limit your sun exposure. If you burn easily and decide to stay at the beach all day your asking for it. I’m at the beach on vacation now and on day 4 staying under my umbrella most the day and keeping my fingers crossed. So far so good but I have 1 more day to go. I hope my aweful experiences can get some info out there to others because it’s hard to get this info from a dr trust me. Been there done that several times.
Nothing like 20 little squirrels crawling on your back while stabbing you with pins and needles. Just rode that wave. Mine seemed to be caused by my cool shower. Ibuprofen and benedryl in... I'm living in fear of its return.
I got it this morning, my parents thought I was going insane and told me I was overacting. There was a point where all I could do was scream into my pillow and punch and kick my bed, I was almost on the verge of tears. I took a Benadryl and have laid down for the last 2 in a half hours. I’ve been fine since then but I’m just afraid for when it kicks back up again :(
From personal experience, 100% essential peppermint oil, mixed with a carrier oil (like olive oil) is the only thing that relieved this thing. This itch is torture. Try 6 or so drops of peppermint oil mixed with lotion or something safe and mild for your skin. Peppermint oil is too strong to put on by itself
I went to the pool with my sister a few days ago, noticed I was burnt even though I was only there for a few hours, I got home and the next day it started, I had to sit in front of my fan to get the itch to go away, and it worked for the rest of the day. Tonight, I couldn't sleep, it felt like someone was taking knives and just repeatedly stabbing my arms, the lukewarm bath was what did it for me this time. I think tonight was the worst, so here's hoping it gets better from here. I've only had this once before, and I remember I was a kid laying in my bath tub just scream crying because of how bad it was.
I had this just last night, keeping calm and clearing your mind helps a lot and too sleep just take some benadryl. Drink lots of water and keep the skin hydrated and some aloe helps. It may have spikes but just keep your composure. Stay safe everyone, this shit sucks.
I really wouldn’t suggest aloe as it’s meant to make the itch so much worse, but to be honest everyone is different. For me, aloe Vera actually made it better! We are all different.
Thank you soooooo much for your help I got off my work shift at 11 o clock tonight, and I got home and the itch killed me it hurt so bad I was screaming and my mom kept telling me that I needed to suck it up but it’s so hard to contain all of the itch thank you for the tips
You are absolutely right it was unbearable until I went into a cold shower for about 40 minutes, now it’s tolerable. Got some Benadryl too. Thanks for this video my man
Hot & cold shower helped after 3 minutes or so. Had to switch between hot and cold every so often. Made sure i took a 45min - 1hr shower. Then applied lotion to small areas of my sunburned skin. Hells itch came back in those the sunburned areas with the applied lotion but lasted for few short minutes. Im sorta chillin right now, slightly itchy but prepared now for the next episode. 😤
honestly best relief, stay in a cool shaded area for a few days, 2 advil every 3 hours and plenty of water....lotions might help some but the advil did the most. benadryl as well.
My dad thinks I’m being a bitch, this is so painful. Hells itch is the perfect name for this, I would literally do anything, I mean anything, to stop this itch. It is flat out the worst pain I have felt in my life.
Horrible thing to go through. I would take really hot showers and it would settle down but as minutes after getting out and drying it would come back in full force. I was seriously having thoughts of getting a knife and peeling the skin off my back! Its a painful itch that goes to the bone
This is the most horrible pain I’ve ever been through tbh, I’ve been shot with a nail gun and I’d rather get shot with it 50 more times than go through this again
My remedy is to not use shampoo on the beard for the first few weeks of beard growth. Let your natural sebum do its thing. The shampoo will dry out your face. In addition to no shampoo, make sure to scratch your skin with your finger nails and scratch off all the dead skin under the shower. Most of the itchiness is because of dead skin
“Shoot myself in the head.” I had to seriously suppress a real urge to jump out of a moving vehicle. This was well before I made any sound about the issue, but folks still think I was looking for attention.
Oh my god, I know not many people will see this comment but I’m going through this right now. Without a doubt the worst pain I have experienced to date. My entire back, chest, and arms were itching nonstop, it felt like I was being eaten alive by fire ants. I took a really long hot shower and a couple Benadryl and the itching has subsided for now at least. It’s awful because every little itch I get now makes me panic because I feel like it is going to start up again. I would not wish this on anyone and I hope that if you get it that it passes quickly.
How you feeling now? I’m guessing it’s not gone yet. Does it look blotchy and feel like your nerve endings are firing off with severe itching every time it fires? Kinda like popcorn going off in your skin? I’ve been there half a dozen times myself.
@@whatfreedom7 I’m actually feeling a lot better, I’m still a little tingly and itchy in a few parts but it’s not nearly as severe as when I got it last time. My sunburn has started peeling so it should all be over for good soon thanks for asking. Also when I was going through it yes it felt awful almost like popcorn was going off in my skin lol. Sorry that you have gone through it so many times, this was my first encounter and it was terrifying lol
Got burned on Thursday, my hells itch started 7pm in the evening Friday. I took a billion painkillers and have a cold towel on my back praying it goes lmao
Just got the itch like 30 minutes ago.. I’m typing this comment in my ice cold bathtub. Literally the worst feeling ever. I’d go to the store to get Benadryl but I legit don’t think it’s safe to drive with this.. hells itch is no freaking joke lol
Just got this for the second time. I literally bought a tube of lidocaine in case it ever happened again. When I tell you I smothered my back in aloe and lidocaine as soon as I started feeling it and I can still feel it a little I'm not kidding. I honestly can't think of a worse thing I've experienced in my life.
This is the truth. Hells itch was more painful than breaking my arm in half. For me, super hot shower and a shit ton of Benadryl. Mint spray is a decent remedy. Expect at least 4 hours of hell. My first one was about 10 hours. Suffered from ptsd. Ive had it to a lesser degree a couple times since. Lots of love. Youll make it through.
I was at the beach in the water for awhile and now I have this itch that has me screaming and going to the ER all I got was ibuprofen and ice packs warm shower didn’t help or cold 😭😭😭😭😭 I haven’t slept since Monday
Benadryl is a allergy pill that puts you to sleep, and stops itching. I’m not sure where you’re located or from but google benadryl and get some, it will knock you out so you can sleep. I’m sorry you’re going through it, just know it will go away!
Apple cider vinegar. Pour it into the area that is burning. It happened after 2 days that I went to the beach. I was feeling like the skin on my back was being punctured by needles. And it burned so bad... and the itching was insane. I was going crazy. I thought about running naked on the street screaming for help. Then I found out about vinegar. And I had a bottle at home and just poured the whole bottle on my back. Instant relief. Taking a cold shower only helped for 1 or 2 minutes. Apple cider vinegar is the way to go.
Patience is key. Try to think about it positively. Mine is just finishing up (hopefully) and you really just gotta think of it as positively as possible. Try to stay in a good mood. Benadryl and a luke warm bath works really well. Dont wear a shirt if possible and try to leave the sunburnt area alone for as long as possible. Never scratch it either. The whole thing is literally just a very intense mental challenge
Been in my room like an animal 24/7 I feel like sht its physically and mentally already destroyed me im glued on my phone like a animal for distraction
Nah bro hell's itch reminded me of chickenpox. For fuck sake it's so fuckijg painfulll. I was loosing my mind when I had chickenpox and hell's itch. Sometimes life is a litteral torture if you ain't careful enough.
im 16 went to the creek for a few hours had a sunburn not bad but next day had a little itch then it progresively got terrible started screaming around my house and cussing crying and it was the worst day of my life
I went out in the sun to mow being I just moved and have not been in the sun for a long while. I have had this hells itch for almost a month however finally I started taking Benadryl and ibuprofen and it has made it so I can get some sleep at least. This crap is not a joke.
Hermit 4Life I’m sorry that yours lasted so long, that is crazy. It’s definitely not a joke, I was so confused when it first happened and now I will forever use sunscreen. I never want to feel this way again!
I copped hells itch after getting sunburnt in Fiji this year and it was the WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. I can tolerate pain and discomfort but that was straight torture for 2 days. You can't do anything to fix it you just have to wait it out...
I had this happen when I was 10 and I had no idea what the problem was, fortunately it didn't last too long, but this time it's lasted hours and it hurts like shit
I’m going through this right now and holy shit this is excruciating. It feels like fire ants are biting tf out of me with intense burning, itching, and pain. Ughhhhh 😭😭
Just now recovering from this. 3rd time in my life I’ve had it and you’d think I would’ve learned by now. By far the worst thing I’ve ever experienced. I thought kidney stones were bad. I’d rather pass 20+ stones back to back lol. I’m unfortunately allergic to Benadryl so hot showers and ibuprofen helped out. Wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy.
I am in it now for round 2 last one was 5 years ago. What’s funny was last time it was a really bad sunburn. This time it was only mild. Wasn’t expecting it. Itching started this morning - was mild all day and in meetings I didn’t really notice it. But when I got home the dial turned up to max. Back to the couch screaming and crying in pain
I just experienced this for the first time 2 days ago and took 2 benadryl and put 1% cortisone cream/steroid cream on the affected area...I had just gotten out of the shower so I did not get back in the shower because I though my shower triggered it. Once the benadryl kicked in it went away...30 minutes and I had relief! It was literally the worst thing ever!
I don’t wish this pain on my worst enemy. Last night this happened to me and I didn’t know what to do with my self. Only thing I thought of is somehow get to the hospital. So I did and they quickly poured ice cold water all over my back and chest. Then gave me iv for fluids. I still feel it today but it is very tolerable. I hope this doesn’t happen again. It was so freaking bad
Just started having hells itch yesterday on my back after getting sunburnt. Haven’t slept for 3 nights with my sunburn, hells itch, and excruciating pain
It was eating me alive this morning. I had no choice but to jump in the shower I only ran cold water and it seemed like it didn't work but then the itching went away. Now I'm only experiencing mild itching hopefully it doesn't come back. I have plenty of tattoos all over my body and this hells itch is the worst thing I've ever felt.
best thing to do for me was just take some aspirin and ibuprofen or some tylenol PM and just sleep as much as you can dont put aloe on it because it makes it 100x worse
Idk what tf to do rn. I have this shit and just took a hot shower and it went away while in the shower but as soon as I got out it started again. I’m so fucking pissed in such a shitty mood cant sleep fucking hell Idk what to do
I’m literally going through this right now. I can’t tell you how miserable and unbearable this is.
Mark Russell take Benadryl, and sit in the shower or bath. You will get threw it.

I woke up at aroun half 7 this morning and I still feel a little bit of itching but oh boy this does not compare to the anything I have experienced yesterday. I hope it gets better soon and that I will stop feeling the itching. It has been 12+ hours or to be exact from around 3pm to 6:30 am the next day. Also hahaha next to the itching I have second degree burns only because of the sun. So please guys wear sunscreen, and stay in the shade in the hottest part of the day. I made that mistake, I went to the pool two days before and been almost the whole day out in the sun. FOR ALL OF YOU FOLKS GOING THROUGH THIS IT WILL GET BETTER, I don’t know what else to say, because you will hear from the others stay strong, but oh boy is that gonna be a big job. I was reading through comments so I decided to share my story that might help someone. Love yall ❤️
You kept making it worse with the use of the aloe vera cream. It might work for normal sunburns but not this evil motherfucker. It makes the next attacks worse. Much like hot showers. I just had this yesterday. Lasted me about 15hrs until i finally passed out from the sedative i used to sleep because it was unbearable. Legit cancelled all work and slept for 18 hrs. Appreciating life today 😅
worst thing that happened to me you should use anesthetic cream it is a big relief for me
Spent a few hours out in the lake two days ago. This afternoon I started to feel the tingling and itching and thought it was just normal itchy sunburn. At 9 PM just took a normal shower as usual. When I got out that’s when it all started. Everything kicked in at once and I started freaking tf out. I was running back and forth in my house not knowing what to do wanting to tear the skin off my body. I know what you mean it’s the middle of the night rn and I’m afraid of another episode. Thanks for the advice I hope it goes away soon. Has to be one of the worst feelings known to man.
how long did it last
Bleon Haxhiu the 10/10 peak lasted about three hours for me last night. Today there’s still quite a bit of irritation but it’s tolerable.
I hope you’re feeling a lot better already!!
David Coy definitely getting better now. Thanks
Happening to me right now, took a shower like 8hrs ago and I'm still dying
The cold shower really helped me. I havent expirenced any kind of pain like this. Nothing.
Klayson Bacon you’re telling me. I was going nuts, is it over for you?
@@dCOYYY yes. Thanks for the help.
Hot showers helped me i had it like 2 months ago...it was driving me nuts lucky i only had it for 1 day
How long were you in the sun ?
@@alexrivera3513 6 or 7 hours
Looking back at this video remedies start at 4:46 in the video.
I’ve been to Mexico twice since making this video and wore sunscreen religiously, and I never got Hells itch again.
Glad everyone survived this. Love you all!
Try Silvadene Cream, it works almost instantly for me.
I had hell’s itch on my shoulders and back one time and it was the absolute most excruciating pain/itch I’ve ever felt in my life! And I’ve broken my arm in 6 places before. I would rather take the broken arm.
And people don’t believe us when we tell them about Hells itch...
@@dCOYYY right, I guess it’s something you have to experience yourself to know
@@dCOYYY exactly!!!!
Everyone commenting while they were going through the worst of it astounds me. I could not even take my hands off my body to type. I was also too busy battling with the extreme suicidal thoughts that came with this devilish torture
I definitely almost drove off a bridge on my way home from work!
Same here
Same it took me 5 mins of jumping to get my underwear and shorts and 40mins finding stuff to scratch my back with now I’m laying on my hotel bed rolling left to right and it’s kinda helping
I just had this last night for the third time in my life. It is excruciating torture. Do not take a bath or use aloe or cream. Get a soft blanket and brink it back and forth over your back or torso. It will go away. Usually it lasts 30 minutes for me, but last night it went on for an hour and a half. I was rolling on the ground bat shit crazy for forever man. I would have gone to urgent care but i would have crashed my car on the way. You can't die from it, wait it out and enjoy the cred afterwards of getting through torture like a friggin double agent spy who gets waterboarded and doesn't break. Stay mentally strong, if you feel suicidal tell someone immediately of your brains intensions to escape the pain. Drink lots of water and take benadryl and ibuprofen. Keep your shirt on, for some reason it helps and other people saying it helps online. I read an article where a marine said it makes Marines cry who go through it, sometimes worse than childbirth. Feels validating, and tie that with knowing it won't last more than and hour and a half will give you some mental strength.
Jeffrey Lundrigan yes a 100 percent mental strength I do recall me wanting to just drive off a bridge. Glad you feel better!
After going through this, I have appreciated life a lot more.
Speak for yourself. I’m 8 hours and counting. Aloe and Benadryl didn’t work. The only relief I get is from a shower.
@@user-nu6vq1su4k I’m with you on that. This is my second day having it. The itch never goes away, it just has periods where it’s horrible! A shower is the only form of quick relief I have
@@jamievlogsmore6078 make sure when you shower the water is hot. Cold water irritates it. Hot water makes it go away for as long as the hot water lasts
I’m 13 and I have had this once before, I was 9, my poor nine year old self had no idea what was coming and let me tell u, my parents told me they considered locking me in a room to get it all out, when I was nine I did nothing, I screamed and let nobody help me, but now I’m 13 and am going through it right now, it’s slowing down and I’m getting my mind off of it but I just decided to watch this vid and read the comments to know that I’m not alone, thanks to everyone and this guy for helping me out in this unbearable time! :)
Your parents considered waat? Sounds like exorcism
@@ardaarsen they just put me in a room to get it all out, so I don’t go crazy on them, it was an exorcism actuslly
When you said you felt traumatized I head you!!! I was so scared I couldn’t sleep, i was screaming at the top of my lungs in pain and agony. Nothing made it better exclamation 4 Benadryl’s and 4 ibuprofen
Peppermint oil. You’re welcome everyone. DO NOT PUT ALOE VERA ON THE BURN!
I'm having it now. I tried showering and it helped a bit. My wife applied cortisol cream but it didn't affect much. I was almost crazy and I would tear my skin. Nothing was helping at all. I started doing meditation to sleep. I literally cut all the movements and desire to scratch below my head. I had weird dreams and also woke up about 10 times. But I could sleep 3.30 hours now. I feel much better and bearable. Just don't scratch whatever you're going through. Run in the house, take shower, use wet fabric on your itchy parts, apply cortisol cream, take sleeping pills etc. But never scratch! Otherwise it will be hellish. Now I will try to sleep again. Wish me luck...
Update: I couldn't sleep and took 1 pill desloratadine
Going through it right now. Good to know I’m not alone, and either are you, reader. Went to the doctor and they weren’t helpful at all. I have to buy a car tomorrow and go to work, I don’t know if I’ll be able to handle it. Godspeed everyone
Going through it too, hot shower, Benadryl, ibuprofen and alcohol really help.
this is the worst thing in life it has to be id rather be buried alive than this! I've been sunburnt before and never had this. Benadryl ibuprofen has worked for me. It wore off and I showered mild hot as much as i could take. Got out and it came back with a fury. Just took more benadryl and ibuprofen. This is HELL.
How's it now that you lived. Any help will be tremendous
Was just going through this. Got the sunburn on Thursday, the itch came on Saturday evening. Oh Sweet GOD...it was just insane!! I took a shower could barely dry off without going through the painful itch. I used AloeCane and that wasn't instant I also took 2 Benadryl and that is now lessening the itch but not completely. I'm hoping that this ends soon, please GOD I'm praying this ends soon!
Th.E PJ hopefully you feel a lot better today.
It usulally happens after 2 days from the exposure to the sun.
Im not very good with words but i can say this.. I was going through this exact thing. The ONE thing that really HELPED me with it was to wrap myself in a blanket in a WARM-HOT ROOM and literally sweat. It sounds weird but apparently raising your bodies temperature stops it. I couldn't believe it. DON'T TAKE SHOWERS OR HAVE A BATH. As soon as you get out it's going to start again. I know its the heat that helps because when i go outside for a smoke without my blanket on I can feel the itch coming back.
I really hope people see this & it helps them like it did with me.
You got this man, it's fucking excruciating. Would rather somebody snap both my arms in half with a sledgehammer than have to sit through that again.
This has me thinking about sleeping in the shower at 2am
Bruh same
Lmao foreal tho, I’m in the shower rn
How long did it last I’m fucking dying
vurtie yo are you good? How long did it take for it to stop? I am loosing my shit rn
WHOS ICEE it took 4 hours but go lay in a hot ass bath take some ibueprofin and you’ll ge good

I’ve had Anastasia wear off while I was getting stitches and this pain is still 1000 miles ahead of that pain this is really the most unbearable thing I’ve ever felt definitely like straight torture
I moved to Hawaii about seven months ago and I went to the beach here and there but I never stayed out for more than an hour. I went with my friend to a birthday party and we were out there for over eight hours and I totally forgot sunscreen. I have the worst sunburn I’ve ever had in my life. The pain was slowly starting to go away but last night I started getting really itchy on my back and I thought maybe I had an ant crawling on me, my mom told me to take a cold bath but it only got worse from there. I started crying and screaming and cussing it was so unbearable and I literally felt like killing myself… My mom gave me Benadryl and two doses of sleeping medicine, she called the doctors and they said it was okay to do so. The Benadryl didn’t help me for some reason and the only way that it would stop was if my mom lightly touched my back and moved her hand over it slowly and it gave me the chills but it helped she did this for almost an hour and every time she stopped it instantly came back, she got tired and went to sleep bc it was like 12:00. Even though I took two doses of sleeping meds I haven’t been able to sleep I tossed and turned and was itchy all night but I wasn’t as bad. I just can’t wait for this to go away
I’m so sorry you’re going through this right now. Drink some water or Gatorade and try to get some rest. It should be over soon!
Got the worst hell’s itch 2 years ago. Absolute hell. If you get it immediately hop in the hot shower and ask someone to get you peppermint oil its the ONLY thing that truly works. Tried everything ,pills, weed, spent 75$ on many creams and nothing worked except that. Cake it on and brace yourself for 48hours of pure hell. I have a very high pain tolerance and this was so awful wouldnt wish it on anyone.
This is the worst thing I have ever experienced. Nothing can compare. Years of crushing depression, poverty, hunger, illness. All that is in my past is insignificant compared to the indescribable agony that I felt until about an hour ago. After a shower/bath, copious amounts of aloe Vera gel, 800 mg of ibuprofen, and lots of hydrocortisone it’s still present. However, I am now able to do a bit more than writhe, grunt, and scream in agony and anger. I begged to God to make it stop and received no answer. It was the most defeated I’ve ever felt. It is on much of my chest and back and feels like fire ants are biting me all over UNDERNEATH my skin. Scratching only makes the fire burn hotter and spread like through a dry and dead forest. I have a high pain tolerance and rarely complain of normal pain, but this is humbling. Please if you are reading this, WEAR SUNCSCREEN.
Just went through this BS! This was UNREAL. I will NEVER go through this again!!! NEVER! NEVER! NEVER!
Sunscreen is my best friend now
Hells itch is a bastard. Not to mention, most people think you are exaggerating when you try to explain. Just as you say.
im sitting and watching this in bed at 4:19 AM while im suffering with this itch what makes it worse is that im on vacation so god please make it better ive tried so many things
This sucks ass. Currently in bed ready for another long, sleepless night.
Thanks for the video, going through this right now. For me I have popped some Benadryl & Ibuprofen and just keep a cool wet towel on my back. This seems to be keeping it bearable, but it sucks because the Benadryl is making me sleepy but it is still bothering me enough I can’t sleep.... GO AWAY!!!
Ron Wise yeah man, stuff is no joke. Glad you found some peace in the terror of things.
I went through it and i couldnt even google it to ser whats happening. I couldnt even pick up the phone or even type bro. This is the worst pain in the world. I pray to everyone having it.
Y
Thank you so much!! Earlier today I was going crazyy!! It was so bad felt like something was trying to scrap my skin off puttin hot sauce on it. I’m jus scared it’s gonna come back tmr 😫 it’s scary how bad it gets. Happy u got threw it and thank you for this video!! It really helps!
I’m happy you survived it as well. I’m glad I went through this because sunscreen is my best friend now
I had this feeling yesterday and today i feel like a tweaker because every time the pulses of the itch comes i jump. Its crazy as shit. I wanted to pull out my hair and cried.
Finaly someone that jumps. I jump, punch walls, lob the dining table, kick the floor and such. Otherwise it feels like Im gonna explode
I’m dealing with this right now I am going crazy. I’ve not slept for two days, I’ve took all the medicine all the showers that just made mine worse! I’m so tired but can’t sleep.
i’ve gone thru fentanyl withdrawals and broken ribs and this is 100x worse than either. what did i do to deserve this 😭
My husband is going through this right now. Thanks for making the video to help others, he’s absolutely miserable and I’m doing everything I can to help but it looks agonizing. I’ve never seen anyone in this much pain
Oh I have. Myself several times. Believe me it’s really bad.
I’ve been through this several times myself on my back and my feet. I too was pushed tot he point of insanity where I wanted to cut my feet off to spare myself from the torture. Poison ivy,bug bites etc are not a comparison at all to this. Multiply it by 100 is more comparable. I’ve been to 2 dr’s which got it wrong twice then went to a dermatologist for it one of the last times I had it on my feet which kept me awake for a couple days unable to sleep. He got it right. He said the reason the itching feels like it’s firing off and itches severely it’s because my nerve endings were most likely inflamed due to the sunburn.
It’s usually easy to spot not by a typical looking sunburn but every time I’ve had personally it it will appear red blotchy in that area. Typically I get it on my back but did have it once on the top of my feet but never on places normally exposed and tanned like my arms. Mine usually last 2-3 days of sever itching like your nerves are firing but with a extreme itch then tapers off. He’s on the right track by taking Benadryl that’s what my dermatologist told me to take but I was given a double dose. (not sure if that was just to help me sleep or if he always recommends a double dose for that)He also had me use ice packs on the infected area which does help soothe it but whatever you do DON’T apply heat it will only make it much more worse as if it wasn’t bad enough already. Also get hydrocortisone and Eucerine mix it 50/50 and apply to the area.
Any NSAID does help with the inflammation also so he’s right on that part too. If you pale skinned like me be careful in the earlier parts of the summer when you haven’t tanned yet and are still adjusting to the sun. That’s usually when it strikes. Make sure to use sunblock even if you think your not going to burn and if your burn easy like me keep covered and use umbrellas when on the beaches when possible and limit your sun exposure. If you burn easily and decide to stay at the beach all day your asking for it. I’m at the beach on vacation now and on day 4 staying under my umbrella most the day and keeping my fingers crossed. So far so good but I have 1 more day to go. I hope my aweful experiences can get some info out there to others because it’s hard to get this info from a dr trust me. Been there done that several times.
Glad I was somewhat on track. Because I was not in the right mindset when I had hells itch, I was willing to try anything to make it go away.
Nothing like 20 little squirrels crawling on your back while stabbing you with pins and needles. Just rode that wave. Mine seemed to be caused by my cool shower. Ibuprofen and benedryl in... I'm living in fear of its return.
People think I’m crazy I’m flipping my suit from how much this itches
I’m hoping you feel a lot better today!
I got it this morning, my parents thought I was going insane and told me I was overacting. There was a point where all I could do was scream into my pillow and punch and kick my bed, I was almost on the verge of tears. I took a Benadryl and have laid down for the last 2 in a half hours. I’ve been fine since then but I’m just afraid for when it kicks back up again :(
Lennon Carroll I know the feeling of being worried it will return. Sorry brother hope today it’s better.
From personal experience, 100% essential peppermint oil, mixed with a carrier oil (like olive oil) is the only thing that relieved this thing. This itch is torture. Try 6 or so drops of peppermint oil mixed with lotion or something safe and mild for your skin. Peppermint oil is too strong to put on by itself
I've had an organ transplant and I'd rather go though that again than this
Sorry to hear this :(
I'm 13 years old and this is the worst pain ever
Reinhardt Dewitt did you try Benadryl
David Coy what kind ?
Went to the beach Sunday, it’s Tuesday and had to leave work in tears.
Exactly what happened with me. Sunday beach, Tuesday Hell!!
I went to the pool with my sister a few days ago, noticed I was burnt even though I was only there for a few hours, I got home and the next day it started, I had to sit in front of my fan to get the itch to go away, and it worked for the rest of the day. Tonight, I couldn't sleep, it felt like someone was taking knives and just repeatedly stabbing my arms, the lukewarm bath was what did it for me this time. I think tonight was the worst, so here's hoping it gets better from here. I've only had this once before, and I remember I was a kid laying in my bath tub just scream crying because of how bad it was.
HELLS ITCH isn’t for the weak!
I had this just last night, keeping calm and clearing your mind helps a lot and too sleep just take some benadryl. Drink lots of water and keep the skin hydrated and some aloe helps. It may have spikes but just keep your composure. Stay safe everyone, this shit sucks.
I really wouldn’t suggest aloe as it’s meant to make the itch so much worse, but to be honest everyone is different. For me, aloe Vera actually made it better! We are all different.
Thank you soooooo much for your help I got off my work shift at 11 o clock tonight, and I got home and the itch killed me it hurt so bad I was screaming and my mom kept telling me that I needed to suck it up but it’s so hard to contain all of the itch thank you for the tips
Dale Draves glad I can help, and I hope you are feeling better!
Nah bro you can’t “suck this up” this shit is something to make a grown man cry. But I recommend sleeping on a heating pad next time this happens
Anthony Gallo that seems like such a good idea !
You are absolutely right it was unbearable until I went into a cold shower for about 40 minutes, now it’s tolerable. Got some Benadryl too. Thanks for this video my man
Glad I can help!
I would rather go on top chef with Jeffery dahmer than go through this shit again
Hot & cold shower helped after 3 minutes or so. Had to switch between hot and cold every so often. Made sure i took a 45min - 1hr shower. Then applied lotion to small areas of my sunburned skin. Hells itch came back in those the sunburned areas with the applied lotion but lasted for few short minutes. Im sorta chillin right now, slightly itchy but prepared now for the next episode. 😤
I'm literally having waves of itchiness every 10 seconds
honestly best relief, stay in a cool shaded area for a few days, 2 advil every 3 hours and plenty of water....lotions might help some but the advil did the most. benadryl as well.
I’m going through this rn but my sister doesn’t believe and it’s so painful
This is the worst itch ever. Actually diving me insane. I would rather sprain my ankle again than this.
Blake hope you feel a lot better now
My dad thinks I’m being a bitch, this is so painful. Hells itch is the perfect name for this, I would literally do anything, I mean anything, to stop this itch. It is flat out the worst pain I have felt in my life.
My boss thought I was being a bitch too. It’s super annoying. Hope you feel better!
Horrible thing to go through. I would take really hot showers and it would settle down but as minutes after getting out and drying it would come back in full force. I was seriously having thoughts of getting a knife and peeling the skin off my back! Its a painful itch that goes to the bone
This is the most horrible pain I’ve ever been through tbh, I’ve been shot with a nail gun and I’d rather get shot with it 50 more times than go through this again
My remedy is to not use shampoo on the beard for the first few weeks of beard growth. Let your natural sebum do its thing. The shampoo will dry out your face. In addition to no shampoo, make sure to scratch your skin with your finger nails and scratch off all the dead skin under the shower. Most of the itchiness is because of dead skin
No guys not a cold shower it’s a really hot shower as hot as you can but try not to burn your skin
Muntzi that’s why I did a Luke warm shower
David Coy I was responding to a comment fortgot to hit reply
Your good, my reply seems rude definitely not my intentions
i’ve passed a kidney stone and this is literally equal if not worse than that
I’m dying right now. I want to cut off every nerve receptor and die
“Shoot myself in the head.”
I had to seriously suppress a real urge to jump out of a moving vehicle. This was well before I made any sound about the issue, but folks still think I was looking for attention.
Oh my god, I know not many people will see this comment but I’m going through this right now. Without a doubt the worst pain I have experienced to date. My entire back, chest, and arms were itching nonstop, it felt like I was being eaten alive by fire ants. I took a really long hot shower and a couple Benadryl and the itching has subsided for now at least. It’s awful because every little itch I get now makes me panic because I feel like it is going to start up again. I would not wish this on anyone and I hope that if you get it that it passes quickly.
How you feeling now? I’m guessing it’s not gone yet. Does it look blotchy and feel like your nerve endings are firing off with severe itching every time it fires? Kinda like popcorn going off in your skin? I’ve been there half a dozen times myself.
@@whatfreedom7 I’m actually feeling a lot better, I’m still a little tingly and itchy in a few parts but it’s not nearly as severe as when I got it last time. My sunburn has started peeling so it should all be over for good soon thanks for asking. Also when I was going through it yes it felt awful almost like popcorn was going off in my skin lol. Sorry that you have gone through it so many times, this was my first encounter and it was terrifying lol
The PTSD is no joke.
Went to the beach a few days ago, have had suicide itch since 2am this morning. Honestly don't know how much more I can take
Got burned on Thursday, my hells itch started 7pm in the evening Friday. I took a billion painkillers and have a cold towel on my back praying it goes lmao
Just got the itch like 30 minutes ago.. I’m typing this comment in my ice cold bathtub. Literally the worst feeling ever. I’d go to the store to get Benadryl but I legit don’t think it’s safe to drive with this.. hells itch is no freaking joke lol
Cold water temporaly reliefs it but hot water stops it for a bit till you heal.
i’m going through hell’s itch rn. and i’m starting to feel a little better after the Benadryl. but how did no one mention how cute this guy is!! lol
Thanks lol
CUZ WERE ALL IN EXCRUTIATING OAIN
😂😂😂
Just got this for the second time. I literally bought a tube of lidocaine in case it ever happened again. When I tell you I smothered my back in aloe and lidocaine as soon as I started feeling it and I can still feel it a little I'm not kidding. I honestly can't think of a worse thing I've experienced in my life.
I am in it now for the second time and it’s pure torture. Only relieve is edibles and a steeming hot bath
And Benadryl
This is the truth. Hells itch was more painful than breaking my arm in half. For me, super hot shower and a shit ton of Benadryl. Mint spray is a decent remedy. Expect at least 4 hours of hell. My first one was about 10 hours. Suffered from ptsd. Ive had it to a lesser degree a couple times since. Lots of love. Youll make it through.
I was at the beach in the water for awhile and now I have this itch that has me screaming and going to the ER all I got was ibuprofen and ice packs warm shower didn’t help or cold 😭😭😭😭😭 I haven’t slept since Monday
Elizabet B did you try Benadryl yet??
No I haven’t I am so scared to put anything on my back I had put aloe Vera that is was made it worse
Benadryl is a allergy pill that puts you to sleep, and stops itching. I’m not sure where you’re located or from but google benadryl and get some, it will knock you out so you can sleep. I’m sorry you’re going through it, just know it will go away!
Thank you I am going to buy some now I’m glad I found your video
Good luck lmk how it goes!
(me whos allergic to claratin peppermint and Benadryl) ITS A HARD KNOCK LIFE FOR US
Apple cider vinegar. Pour it into the area that is burning.
It happened after 2 days that I went to the beach. I was feeling like the skin on my back was being punctured by needles. And it burned so bad... and the itching was insane.
I was going crazy. I thought about running naked on the street screaming for help. Then I found out about vinegar. And I had a bottle at home and just poured the whole bottle on my back. Instant relief.
Taking a cold shower only helped for 1 or 2 minutes. Apple cider vinegar is the way to go.
Patience is key. Try to think about it positively. Mine is just finishing up (hopefully) and you really just gotta think of it as positively as possible. Try to stay in a good mood. Benadryl and a luke warm bath works really well. Dont wear a shirt if possible and try to leave the sunburnt area alone for as long as possible. Never scratch it either. The whole thing is literally just a very intense mental challenge
All mental and whole lot of ITCH
Been in my room like an animal 24/7 I feel like sht its physically and mentally already destroyed me im glued on my phone like a animal for distraction
I also had ptsd after the first time I had I was so scared of fire and temperature change
It’s no joke
I’m ducking dying rn
I hope your duck survived!
Nah bro hell's itch reminded me of chickenpox. For fuck sake it's so fuckijg painfulll. I was loosing my mind when I had chickenpox and hell's itch. Sometimes life is a litteral torture if you ain't careful enough.
im 16 went to the creek for a few hours had a sunburn not bad but next day had a little itch then it progresively got terrible started screaming around my house and cussing crying and it was the worst day of my life
I went out in the sun to mow being I just moved and have not been in the sun for a long while. I have had this hells itch for almost a month however finally I started taking Benadryl and ibuprofen and it has made it so I can get some sleep at least. This crap is not a joke.
Hermit 4Life I’m sorry that yours lasted so long, that is crazy. It’s definitely not a joke, I was so confused when it first happened and now I will forever use sunscreen. I never want to feel this way again!
@@dCOYYY Yep same here I will surely grab some of that.
Its happening to me right now it hurts so bad. Nothing is working to relieve it
How do you feel now?
I copped hells itch after getting sunburnt in Fiji this year and it was the WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. I can tolerate pain and discomfort but that was straight torture for 2 days. You can't do anything to fix it you just have to wait it out...
I had this happen when I was 10 and I had no idea what the problem was, fortunately it didn't last too long, but this time it's lasted hours and it hurts like shit
Yeah it’s definitely not a good time
I walked back and forth in my shower for 2 hours and it was miserable, I’m still itching like crazy and can’t sleep at all.
:( hope you’re okay by now.
I’m going through this right now and holy shit this is excruciating. It feels like fire ants are biting tf out of me with intense burning, itching, and pain. Ughhhhh 😭😭
But do you like hell's itch?!?!?
peppermint oil directly on the skin was the only thing that helped me. Going through it now
I live in Syria and i have it now , the two worse things ever
Same story accept I don’t live there just in vacation
Just now recovering from this. 3rd time in my life I’ve had it and you’d think I would’ve learned by now. By far the worst thing I’ve ever experienced. I thought kidney stones were bad. I’d rather pass 20+ stones back to back lol. I’m unfortunately allergic to Benadryl so hot showers and ibuprofen helped out. Wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy.
For real tho going through it rn
I’ve had it something like 5-6 times and had sun poisoning at least twice. Yes it’s a awful experience for sure.
I've had this. It's not so much pain, it's more tormenting. Wouldn't wish it on my Worst enemy
I am in it now for round 2 last one was 5 years ago. What’s funny was last time it was a really bad sunburn. This time it was only mild. Wasn’t expecting it. Itching started this morning - was mild all day and in meetings I didn’t really notice it. But when I got home the dial turned up to max. Back to the couch screaming and crying in pain
I just experienced this for the first time 2 days ago and took 2 benadryl and put 1% cortisone cream/steroid cream on the affected area...I had just gotten out of the shower so I did not get back in the shower because I though my shower triggered it. Once the benadryl kicked in it went away...30 minutes and I had relief! It was literally the worst thing ever!
I don’t wish this pain on my worst enemy. Last night this happened to me and I didn’t know what to do with my self. Only thing I thought of is somehow get to the hospital. So I did and they quickly poured ice cold water all over my back and chest. Then gave me iv for fluids. I still feel it today but it is very tolerable. I hope this doesn’t happen again. It was so freaking bad
Just started having hells itch yesterday on my back after getting sunburnt. Haven’t slept for 3 nights with my sunburn, hells itch, and excruciating pain
It was eating me alive this morning. I had no choice but to jump in the shower I only ran cold water and it seemed like it didn't work but then the itching went away. Now I'm only experiencing mild itching hopefully it doesn't come back. I have plenty of tattoos all over my body and this hells itch is the worst thing I've ever felt.
I have it now and I can't stand it since 3am it's now 7am how long does it last
I’m sure it’s over with now... Mine lasted a little under a day
Just got it again. Cold Shower, Benadryl, Lidocaine, and/or vinegar.
Boiling hot shower helps me but it has small little itches every now and again but u just have to ignore it
best thing to do for me was just take some aspirin and ibuprofen or some tylenol PM and just sleep as much as you can dont put aloe on it because it makes it 100x worse
Am I allowed to die now?
NEVER
It is kinda weird hells itch seem to happen randomly. I even read comments from 65 year old guys, seems they never experienced such thing before
Idk what tf to do rn. I have this shit and just took a hot shower and it went away while in the shower but as soon as I got out it started again. I’m so fucking pissed in such a shitty mood cant sleep fucking hell Idk what to do
Benadryl. Try to get some and just take it and it will stop the itch and knock you out
