Re: Oh boy, Insight, I'm so sorry you feel like this...
If I were you, I'd get into a soothing bath of a 1% solution of Himalayan Crystal Mineral Salts...for 20 to 30 minutes.
That's 1 kg. or 2.2 pounds of granules to the average bathtubful of water.
Melt the granules in a bucket of water, first. They are slow, and no fun to sit on.
Shower first, then, in the bath, keep all your parts wet, with a facecloth...even your hair and face.
The skin balances all your minerals, both in and out...and this bath may be very soothing. Many people report so.
Being the residue of ancient oceans, they can't help but have been selected by ocean plants, in balance...containing the building blocks of life.
Lots of people also like a magnesium bath (Epsom salts) but I can't help but think the mineral salts contain lots of magnesium, and iodine, and trace minerals, too.
Any health food store may have the mineral salts. Mine, from a health food store, came from the distributor...

Just imagining here, Insight...is there any chance your irritation comes from the outside?
...Nah...someone else would have noticed it, too, if it was from detergent or something.
Hope it's gone like a flash!
