How can I treat
swimmer's itch?
Swimmer's itch, although extremely annoying and discomforting,
is not a communicable or fatal disease. Over-the-counter drugs
are available to reduce the effects of swimmer's itch. Antihistamines
can be used to help relieve the itching while topical steroid
creams may help to reduce the swelling. Before taking any of
these drugs, however, consult your physician or dermatologist
for advice.
Also, it is very important that you report
any case of swimmer's
itch. This information is essential in our efforts to secure
funding that will help find a solution to the swimmer's itch
problem.
