I realize that some links are helpful to certain users, but they still do not comply with Wikipedia policy, and therefore must not be included in the article.  WhatamIdoing (talk) 08:01, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Sometimes after getting out the bath I itch like crazy. Really. I have plenty of scratch marks over mostly my forearms, shoulders, lower back and stomach. However it's not immediate, IE: I touch some water and itch, it's just after a bath. Really weird... Joe Davison 20:05, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Do I have it? 

message: Two years ago I added the following, later deleted.:-
:One sufferer has reported that showering after exercise instead of first thing in the morning helps. 
I readily concede that this is original research. However much of the article is unreferenced. People who suffer from this condition look for things that will relieve the condition. I have no doubt that this is one place most, if not all, look. If the sufferer had reported that banging the head against a bring wall helped, I would certainly not report that. Even if showereing after exercise in a particular case does not help, a bit of exercise should not not cause any harmful sise effects.
I hope editors will be generous on my breach of the original research rule. Trahelliven (talk) 00:55, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Trahelliven, I removed the information you added because it's just as likely to cause harm as it is to help, and Wikipedia is not a support group. There *is* a link to an online support group for the condition listed at the end of the article. That would be a good place to share your personal experience.

thread_title:  /* Treatment */ showering after exercise 

message: I understand Wikipedia's policy about links to medical support groups not being acceptable.  However, the Aquagenic Pruritus support list's resources on Yahoo! remains the definitive source for links and articles on the subject.  Also, that list is also the definitive source of advice on diagnosis and treatment of symptoms.
Above on this page it says "There *is* a link to an online support group for the condition listed at the end of the article" but there isn't such a link.
How can a link to that list's resources be made available for the benefit of a sufferer finding this page such that they can be pointed at the disease's most useful resource, but within the constraints of Wikipedia's rules? SandJ-on-WP (talk) 22:49, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
