Hi everyone.

I have been using H from time to time, always IVed, and I came to the problem that I get itching in my face and I constantly have to rub it or do something.
Next day, it seems like I got a sun burn and the following days I peel off my skin, literrally.
(I got the same reaction with Morphine - the second opiod I tried)


Is there anything that can help with that ?
Are anti-histamines the only way ? I think we only got one without prescription in France.

Regards,
 
don't fucking touch your face.... if you can't NOT touch your face, than you need to stop .... its so annoying when I see people picking... its like the beginning of amphetamine psychosis when people are on meth... on heroin i have the itchys too sometimes, but when they are THAT intense its because i've done too much opiate. I use meth and heroin , together, and get itchy but even with both I can control myself... and if I can't , its my fault (that rarely rarely happens)

when people pick their skin they need to stop, if they can't stop they need to lower their dosing, if they can't do any of that they need rehab
 
He's not picking, he means he scratches so much the next day his skin is dried out and peels, hardly picking. It happens to me on PST almost every time. It is not picking it is severe itching and even if you just rub instead of scratch eventually your skin will start to peel off. No bumps no scars no picking, just scratching which in turn leads to skin peeling off, it's normal and completely different than picking
 
Btw benadryl cream helps a good bit, or real any good antihistamine cream, or just the pills but cream tends to work better as you get it exactly where you need it
 
ok, well yeah thats what I meant... its basically the same phenomenom , seemingly involintary skin obsessing, whether its picking, scratching, pinching, cutting, any fussing of the skin which is unwarranted and ultimately harmful .
 
I will try Benadryl, I was using Nivea and other creams.

Thanks everyone for your replies.
