all i want to do is scratch!
ugh!

sweety i'm so sorry.

a trick that was an accident my X and i discovered: ( he gets it even if he walks near it and swells sooo bad)

use tooth ache stuff. like ambesol or oral gel. numbs it right up. for a long time too. the extra strength stuff especially.

our oldest was teething. i had used ambesol. ( they didn't make the baby stuff yet) and she drooled on his arm. hehehe...it numbed it.

did your dr give you an antibiotic? watch for infection. and don't get in the sun. you don't want even a slight tan...you will scar.
