Re: no problem...

I tried the hot water method and was amazed to find that it brought instant relief!
Yes it works, hurray!!!
I used the over the counter creams before I read about this but for most of the spots that still itched afterwards applying the hot water to them stoped the itching immeadiatly and appeared to kill off whatever was left behind. So far so good anyway. To test the method I left a few spots which I didnt treat this way and just reapplied the cream - they continued to itch and multiply and required a lot of cream and time to go away where as the hot water ones have healed already.
I shall be using the hot water on everything in future!
