Allergic To Water
« on: November 06, 2010, 07:35:39 PM »
"Aquagenic pruritus is a skin disease characterized by the development of severe, intense, prickling-like epidermal itching that is without observable skin lesions and that is evoked by contact with water."

Not really, just that if she has contact with water on a certain area (the eye, that is) she'll get pain... a lot.

I understand.
I hate to say this, but I have this, as well. It's my ENTIRE BODY that gets affected. Any contact with water will cause my skin to get INCREDIBLY itchy. You can't see anything; it's as if I"m scratching at nothing. But if I scratch long enough, I can turn red all over. The only parts of my body that are not affected at my face, hands and toes. I try my best to stay dry; at night, I don't sleep with covers on my bed, and I have the temperature in my room really low to prevent sweating. I don't swim, my showers are only 5 minutes or less, and when I wash my hands, I make sure that I don't get any water on my arms, or else I will have to through several minutes of scratching and pain.   :(

I've tried everything to stop it, but nothing works.  :(

Yes, I can drink water. It does not affect me at all. Only my skin gets itchy.
