you probably have scabies. These are tiny little animals hiding in your skin and they lay eggs in your clothes and bed. Wash all your clothes and hang them in the sun for a couple of days. Do the same with your bed, sheets and pillows. Get a special cream (medicine) which you have to put all over your body except your face and leave the medicine on your skin over night. You have to repeat this treatment a couple of times. You don't only have to kill all animals but you have to get rid off all eggs too, so make sure you wash all your clothes.

Try Tiger Balm, available at any Thai pharmacy. It smells bad, but it stops the itching!

at first i thought this was about our lovely tf-member poison ivy ...and there is certainly no reason why we want to get rid of her. anyhow, you should get tiger balm in the us. it is available in pharmacies in europe and i am pretty sure i saw it in the us, too. hope you feel better soon.
