If your child can’t sleep because of their itchy rashes, it’s not just because there’s nothing else to focus on while lying there.
Changes happen in the body at night that can make itch worse, including:
👉Skin gets leakier
👉Skin gets drier
👉Blood vessels dilate and constrict more, which increases histamine
👉Immune cytokines (other than histamine) are more active at night, increasing immune responses, including those that trigger itch symptoms
What you can do about it:
👉Take an antihistamine before bed. There are natural options, too, like quercetin, vitamin c, and immunoglobulins.
👉Moisturize before bed
👉Try a therapeutic massage with that moisturizer! It’s a great bonding strategy, and it’s relaxing.
