    ...wait that's a symptom?? On your hands and feet or just in general? (it happens to my hands and feet when it happens - I just thought it was a new food allergy)

    Mine is mainly on my face...I'm going to ditch and replace all my make up and brushes just in case it's something else..but my head is telling me it's hormonal in line with extremes of heat sensations

    You're probably right.

    My EARS burn from time to time. just my ears. Bright red. And burning.

    My shins! The lower part of my legs and it starts with a little tickle and once I start scratching it's awful, I keep scratching & sometimes my nails have left real marks and I've bled a couple times. I've learned to use a ton of cream! The best thing is after a shower and before getting out, I slather on good hair condtioner and let it soak in (not cream for fear of getting it in my clean hair) then just blot dry my legs while drying the rest of me, this seems to really help... Other than that, that has been my only symptom.

    I get it on my legs, hairline, ears, and waistline. I am going to go insane. I look like a contortionist some days. Oh, the things your grandmother never told you.....
