in the summer, when I come back from the garden. I get this intensely itchy skin, don't know what causes it- maybe chiggers(can't see any bugs), but usually around skin folds. The only things that relieves it best is using wet clay. I already had kaolin clay, I just wet it with water to make a paste and apply on afflicted areas. Immediate blessed relief.
I used it on the outside cat, he had a skin reaction to fleas or I am not sure what. He would scratch his skin, till it would bleed. I simply made a watery paste and applied all over his sores. No more scratching and all his sores healed fast. Cat had tufts of fur gone, it started growing back in a few weeks.
