I was swimming one time and felt a lot of itchiness. I thought to myself, “I should get a swimmers itch cure. I should just take a bath every day and get rid of the itchiness.” While the idea of getting rid of a terrible itch is a great one, it didn’t take me long to realize that I wasn’t so lucky.
This is a question that I get asked a lot from people who have been swimming for a while, and it has always been a common complaint. I can count on one hand the number of times I myself have tried to get rid of itchiness on my arms. Swimmers itch cure has been a popular idea for quite a few years, but the results have been mostly negative.
Swimmers itch cure is a simple idea that I’ve tried to implement in my own life. By simply avoiding the itchiness, you are essentially “treating” the problem. The problem is that this idea has never worked for me, and most of you who have tried itch-free swimming never got rid of itchiness either.
Many readers have been asking for a cure since I posted this article, and I’m glad to finally get some answers. I tested several different treatments, including some from the internet. One guy tried using a few of his own products. One guy tried something called “Swimmers”, which is a gel-like substance that you put on your skin, and the itchiness went away.
Swimmers are a product that you apply to your skin, which is supposed to help reduce itch. They also contain a lot of other helpful stuff, including aloe, which is a natural antiseptic, and tea tree oil, which is a natural anti-inflammatory. And that’s about it. All in all, they are a very expensive and overpriced treatment, which can’t fully cure itchiness.
I have tried some of these too (not to be confused with Swimmers) and they did help, but I feel like I’m in the same boat as the guy who tried Swimmers. I have the itchiness, but it’s not really a problem.
So, you may be wondering why you would want to take this product if you have any kind of skin condition. The answer is that swimmers itch can be incredibly irritating, especially when it’s really bad. I’ve used these sprays for years, and they do help a bit, but they’re still hard on your skin. One swimmers I tried was called Swimmers In The Sea.
The reason I’m even mentioning them is because they come in various sizes. There’s a big one that’s actually made out of sponges (which look a little like cucumbers), a smaller one called the Swimmers & Sprays Sprays, and a “regular” one called the Swimmers & Sprays. Each one claims to have a different amount of the active ingredient.
The small one called the Swimmers amp Sprays claims to be the most effective. The other two have the same number of active ingredients, but the small one claims to be the most effective. The small one claims that it can keep the water from getting soapy and irritating to the skin, but not as effective as the other two.
At this point, I’m not sure if it works for me, but the other two are apparently ineffective. I just tried them both, and they both had an unpleasant aftertaste to them. The small one had a weird aftertaste that made me realize this is not a big deal and I should probably stop using it. The other two were fine. The small one was kind of funny because I kept using it after it was supposed to have expired.
