Everyday I battle with my psoriasis, most days I manage to make it through and not go ballistic scratching at my skin but today it started to get the better of me. Normally around 3pm it starts to bother me but today it was on my case from the word go! By midday I couldnt concentrate on anything but the urge to itch, I spent my lunch searching for remedies but unfortunately the majority involved covering myself in lotions which just isnt possible in work. One I did come across was using a cold compress, with about 30seconds of my lunch left I dashed to boots and purchased one.
On my return I threw it in the freezer and waited for 30minutes, it said to leave it for 2 hours but no way in hell was I waiting that long!!!(longest 30minutes ever) I applied it to the back of my head and almost instantly the desire to itch had gone!! I couldn't believe it, I kept it on for 15 minutes and that provided a good hour or so of relief! Apart from being constantly asked 'Have you banged your head?' it was well worth it and I certainly will be getting another to keep at home.
£6.99 from Boots, you can get them much cheaper online but being able to get it there and then was ideal!
