ALL PURPOSE

i recently developed a rash on my leg and was looking for something to get over the counter to deal with the ridiculous itch. the person i was with recommended this:



it says "soothes pain. stops itching." nice, that's what i wanted...

i took it home and read the "INDICATIONS" section of the label:
"relief of bites by lice, bedbugs, mosquitoes, bees, other poisonous insects, itching ulcers, measles, irritation from shaving, headaches, pimples, numbness (????) muscle fatigue from exercise, burns"

basically, you can use this for anything short of blindness.

well, folks, it turns out that this:



is basically this:


and so of course it works. because it fucking HURTS when you put it on a rash. it burns. and stings.  and then you forget that it itches. because you're in fucking PAIN.   i mean, is it really ok to market this stuff as an "anti itch" cream? it's friggin' BenGay for pete's sake. smells like bengay, feels like bengay, and i imagine, if you ever put BenGay on a rash, this is what it would burn like.  just because it technically does what you say it will (it did make the rash stop itching) doesn't mean that's what it's for.

otherwise, here, this is also good for rashes on your limbs:
