I found hot water and heat of any kind to intensify the itching. I am normally a shower freak, taking 2 showers a day, but with the PI rash, I dreaded showers and would only stay in long enough to get clean. I would itch and burn for an hour or more after showering. Glad it works for some, but it didn't for me. In fact, anything cool felt better. I would often spray apple cider vinegar on my arms and stand in front of a fan until it dried, that seemed to help more than anything. If you use a lotion or cream, try keeping it in the fridge. Ahhhhhhhhhh.....
