Anthropy

I noticed that putting tiger balm or other forms of essential oils on itchy things strangely helps the inflammation go away pretty much instantly.

It works so well it completely mediates my latex allergy for my watch band for days before I have to reapply it, or is that just me?

@anthropy With tiger balm does it really help or is it just overriding the existing sensations? :P

I only remember the stuff being quite intense and never wanting to try it again, let alone on more sensitive skin. xD

@maruno weirdly it somehow actually reacts with the area, first you don't feel it at all, then the itch pretty quickly disappears, and then you start to feel the cool of the tiger balm. You don't need much for it either, just enough for it to respond to it.
It actually completely removed the dark red blistering and flaking skin that the latex band was causing, it is fully healed, I can actually wear the watch basically without any issue now, I just have to apply the balm every few days
