Bakingsoda washes - rashes

Hello everyone.

I am wondering if anyone has ever washed with baking soda?
Basically what I had been doing at time was wash my face with baking soda without dialution. There has never been a reaction.
4 days ago, I did the same thing. I took just a little of the soda into my hands and applied it to the rest of my body. I waited about a minute or two and showered it off. Now I have rashes since then. The rashes have not subsided, I am itching everywhere when I am awake. IT is terrible. Surprisingly I have no reaction on genitals nor my armpits.

Anyone have any experience with baking soda and washing with it?

Hey, Greenland, that sounds anoying. I only had an allergic reaction like this once in my life and it was pretty annoying (as soon as I started the ARVs).

I remember that I used lots of "Mint Baby Powder" to stop the itching... it did help a little bit, but I also took a strong anti-histaminic such as prednison.... then the itching went away...

Besides the Mint Powder, does anybody know about any other "natural" solution???

Faith and Health!!

Thank you so much!
I am not sure what ever made me really think that having baking soda for soap in shower or bath would do! I hope the rashes go away! I am definately taking otc antihistimines!

Thanks,
Matt
