whatever the cause was, a good run on my legs with benzalkonium chloride wipes got rid of the itch pretty fast.

i'm not a doctor. or a chemist. don't listen to me. think for yourself.

but, fyi, in fact, the active ingredient in most cleaning wipes, which also usually include hydrogen peroxide as a secondary ingredient, is also used as the active ingredient in anti-bacterial creams, like this one:

if i get an rx in the end, it could very well be for a skin cream version of a cleaning wipe, and it will be better for my skin in the long run if i do.

but in the short run, if i can just kill it with cleaning wipes, that's fine. it might burn and bleed a little. that just means it's working. it'll heal.
