I had a similar entry in my LiveJournal from about a year ago describing it. It wasn't so much the burn that I hated as it was the itch, the goddamned awful itch. I would have accepted burn any day compared to the intolerable subtlety of the itch. My body convulsed with discomfort, and only spending all day in the shower would have brought some form of relief. Nothing worked. At one point, my body was smeared with mustard, vinegar at another point. Nothing worked. Finally I took a very powerful sleeping pill. It knocked me on my ass, and I woke up the next day very relieved. As you said, it was the most uncomfortable I've ever been in my life. I know exactly how you feel.
