I used to have really bad eczema all over my body, but several years ago Crisco fixed most of it EXCEPT for a spot on my back that I can't reach! A back-scratcher or body brush with long handle can help scratch the spot for temporary relief, but what I really need is a tool that can allow me to apply cream onto that area (I live alone). Can anyone suggest something for this please please please? I haven't been able to sleep for the past couple weeks because of the darn itch and it's driving me up the wall!!!

Thank you!

I've used cellophane when all alone and must get something on my back...

But I just found this... I looks WAY better than limp cellophane... http://www.bodybuddy.com/

Hope you can get it... or you better get cozy with a neighbor!!! Hope you've got a cute one! Embarassed

Oh boy...I did a search on Amazon for "lotion applicator" and found lots of options, though you will need to find one that ships to you:

Thanks guys! Yes I actually have those lotion applicator things from Amazon, but the problem is they work better for runny-consistency liquids than creams and ointments. So far I've been using a rubber spatula (the kind you use to scrape brownie mix from the bowl to the pan Laughing

) but the problem is it doesn't "spread" very well... The Body Buddy might actually work, so I'm going to email them and see if they ship to Malaysia! Claudia, how do you use cellophane?

PS. I travel a lot for work and live mostly in hotels, maybe I should consider ringing up the bell boy... Laughing

I've used cellophane (plastic wrap) in the same way they use the body buddy (which I have NOT used.) But basically something that I can hold like a towel and spread back and forth... Only, plastic wrap is very flimsy... so it's NO WHERE NEAR and easy even spread... the body buddy looks like it could be stiff enough to actually allow for that...

I like the bell hop idea...LOL!
