If you were asked to choose one option but not none, which one would you choose if the question is "do you prefer pain or itch?" If pain and itch have similar magnitude, I will choose pain over itch. Itch from heat rash, urticaria and dry skin are extremely unbearable.
Whenever you sweat, you will feel a thousands needles poking on your skin, this is heat rash. Thousands of mosquitoes bites spreading everywhere on your body with one patch as large as 5 mosquitoes patches, this is urticaria or hives. When your face or hair-skin crack like snake skin, this is considered dry skin or dandruff.
Last 2 days, I just had Urticaria, it always starts below my knee, on my armpit or at the edge of my groin and it will spread throughout the body within 6 hours. The magnitude of itch is the same as mosquitoes bite and the chemistry behind the swell is also similar to mosquitoes patches. That means if I have mosquitoes bites, an anti-histamine drug will also help. Luckily, I have Loratadine, just 1 tablet, all patches started to disappear after an hour. This allergy attack continues for another 2 days.
