Just press the nails on to the itchy spot making a cross. Β Some how it feels less itchy. ^^
I was not alone! My senior did the cross too!!!
So with this, I conclude that..
.

LOL! It’s amazing that we learned to do the same thing on our own without anyone teaching. π
Anyone else here did the cross thing on mosquito marks, bug bites, chicken pox.. any itchy bump before?

I did the cross before I know how to talk.. @@” I even use the straw to make “circle” mark before The Cross is boring. hahahahaha.
I thought this is very common? π
Reply:
hahaha the thing is everyone will use the same exact method to ease the itch and not do other stuffs.. XD
i also did that when i have itchy bumps..
Reply:
you too eh? O.o
I do that too! It was my piano teacher who taught me that…maybe when I was 8 or 9? I think she taught me to make just a line through the bump, and I added more and more lines to it in all directions (when it’s really itchy). Before that I think I slapped sharply on the itchy area…when it stings it feels less itchy π
Reply:
hahaha diverting the itch with pain eh?
OMG! I do that too π hahahah somehow it feels better when i do that!
Reply:
it works right hehehe π

Reply:
what you made chocolate bar too?
Nah, the crossing method has been around for a long time, so I think it’s rather common for our elders to teach us that. Recently someone taught me another method. Try putting counterpain on it! Lol. I think any other cooling cream / gel will work too. π

hahaha pain vs pain XD like poison vs poison eh

I did that too. Putting a cross on it is cool.
Remember when luffy leave princess vivi, luffy and his crew show X sign to vivi.
Reply:

Saliva??!! O.o seriously?
I taught all my children doing this technique with Slav cover it up.It’s really help.At least,this bring us back a memorable childhood.
Reply:
you use saliva too? wahh i didn’t know that
Well… I did crossing it at first too but I find scratching them seem to ease the itch much more better. The common problem of scratching is leaving scars. But my uncle tought me a long time ago of a scratching method without leaving scars. It’s by scratching the bump with the top side of ur nails instead of the usual bottom nail side. So it’ll be like scratching outwards from yourself instead of inwards just like strumming a guitar. Sounds a bit funny but you don’t need to move your arms anyway. just the fingers XD Just make sure ur nails are clean, evenly trimmed and filed neatly π

This is something new π
can try it next time hehehe

OMG I also use tat methond too :@ but i also use pen to poke holes ^^ I tot this methond ish very common
Reply:
hahaha very common but everyone learn themselves XD
haha i used to do that when i was young too xD Was taught by an older sister to do that to ease the itch and I kept doing it even though it didn’t ease the itch at all. I’m stupid, I know =(.
But after I grew up I realise its a very bad thing to do because it will cause scarring oTL
Reply:
hahaha XD
