We need an automatic head scratcher. A hat with a spinnig wheel inside. Problem is I'd set it for hardest sratching, stiffest wires. :-) At least a few family members have long fingernails, though if I could only have them following behind me, scratching all day long. Last 2 days I tried Benadryl, no help. It's on my face now too. Have doc app next week, hopefully he has an idea. Dematologist jut gave me shampoo samples. Greg
