Itchy rash?

YES, you should scratch it!

Scratching causes good inflammation, stimulates immune response, prevents infections, causes healing.

Every mom & doctor who tells you not to scratch your itch is wrong...

Itchy > Scratchy

😳 so my mom wasnt absolutely insane telling me “if you got an itch, itch it” my whole childhood?!

Can't stop it anyways. The urge is to strong.

Not when you are trying to go to sleep and it's from having dry skin... Or so my experience goes.
