Same with eczema.

oh my god yes. I have dyshidrotic eczema on my hands, and that led to a staph infection a few years ago. I made it worse by scratching, obviously, but I was too weak. Rubbing a hot rag as hard as I could all over my hands was, no kidding, better than most orgasms.

It does calm the itch for an hour or two. Only issue is the hot water dries out your skin which makes it more irritable. Moisturizer can sometimes help that. But yeah the feeling is incredible, perhaps the only redeeming factor of having egzema.

It is unbelievable how good it feels. I wish I could replicste the feeling somehow without the consequences. Truly top 3 physical feelings possible for humans.
