I had spinal surgery a few years back, yeah poor me, but that's not the problem. The scar that was left on the front of my throat has become irritated. This has never happened before and it is driving me up the wall. I am trying not to scratch it, not because it can become infected, it healed a long time ago, I just don't want it to break out in a rash. I don't think it has anything to do with shaving my beard off either. My beard didn't go down that far. Quick, where's the benadryl, or should I say the generic benadryl.(benadex, benadrine, benatax, benalongtimecominggonnabealongtimegone???) Why do I obsess over these things? Oh yeah, I'm obsessive compulsive
