Have you ever been told not to scratch your skin? Advice like this only makes you want to scratch more, doesn’t it? It is pleasant and eliminates itching, at least for a while. So why is everyone telling you not to?
To tell the truth, it only creates problems, not solves them. When you scratch the skin, the nails injure it, opening the way for inflammation (redness and pain). You know? The itching will only get worse. The more you scratch the skin, the more itching, the worse the atopy… It’s just a vicious circle!
How to be? Something needs to be done, because this is unbearable! When you want to scratch yourself, remember the LIPIKAR STICK AP+. Run it around the itchy area. This will help soothe the skin and you won’t hurt your skin with your nails. This is a great solution that will help fight skin discomfort.
The next step in the fight against atopy is the ability to be distracted. Your hands need something to do, so keep them busy! Play with friends, do needlework or draw. While your hands are busy, thoughts of itching recede.
Another great option to break out of the vicious circle is self-awareness. Do you know what it is? Ask your parents or teachers. To drown out the desire to scratch, you need to get rid of all thoughts … Think about something pleasant ☺
Don’t forget: while scratching your skin may feel good at first, it does a lot of harm! The more you scratch, the more itchy! “LIPIKAR STICK AP+” is a real magic wand for atopic-prone skin.
