"I am diabetic and have itches over several parts of the body. I discovered Lanacane by accident, and it works wonders for me. The problem with Lanacane is that body heat makes it melt, and it runs off on the bed, in the clothing, etc., therefore, the duration on the skin is reduced. Also, I have discovered that with repeated use, the skin became red. I am now applying a generous layer of body powder (talc) over Lanacane. This prevents Lanacane from melting and running off the skin. The duration is about tripled, and there is no more irritated, red skin. The more powder you apply, the better. You end up looking like fried chicken, but you will feel much, much better."

"My thighs rubbed together all the time, and wearing skirts or dresses or even going to sleep made me uncomfortable. Applying the gel made me comfortable. No side effects. I am happy I found this product, and my skin is a lot better. I used to use powder and found that my skin got worse and hurt. After using this gel, my skin is so much better. As for a primer, no thanks. I use witch hazel as a cleaner and first aid. Anyway, once again, I am so happy I found this product."

"I only used Lanacane when I had itchiness on my vagina, once every 18 months or so, but it was perfect to stop that. Best I’ve ever known, better than Vagisil, but it appears is no longer available in the UK certainly. We don’t pay insurance here as we don’t pay for healthcare, we get it free. I pay for cream, costs around £5, but the one I buy lasts a few years as I do not use it regularly."

"Skeeter Stik is the best itch medicine stick for insect bites that I have used."
