Get some hydrocortisone cream to put on the bumps, hon.
I know calamine lotion used to be the thing, but it never did ANYthing for *me* when I had them as a kid. But hydrocortisone *might* help.
And yes, be careful about scratching them and ESPECIALLY about picking scabs, etc. anywhere you don't want scars.
As to the cold water trick...hey, it can't hurt, so if it works I'd do it. [img]smile.gif[/img] Now *hot* water might not be a good idea, but I don't see how cold water can be a problem. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Just sorry to hear you are miserable. *Hug*
