do you have the discipline not to scratch something that is very itchy?

During rainy seasons, I usually get these little sort of like mosquito bites on my feet. They are just red dots and are very very very very very itchy! Especially when something is moving against my feet like the hem of my pants. If I scratch it, it will leave marks and brown spots which would take weeks to disappear. But I don't have the willpower not to scratch them!! My mom would suggest pouring rubbing alcohol on it or just pat the itchy part but never scratch. But I just can't help it! How about you? Do you have the willpower and discipline to not scratch something itchy or not eat something not healthy but very delicious? I always scratch the itchy red dots and regret later but what the heck! It's very itchy! When it comes to food, I always eat unhealthy but delicious food - well junk food to be precise.. it's bad but delicious so I eat it and then regret it when I look at the weighing scale! Hahaha! What about you? can you always resist the temptation?

i think i have the similar case little sort of mosquito bites on my feet. what would i do, identify what causes it. and realized that its possible that my leather scandal is the culprit. because sweat from my feet plus humid weather plus the leather equal good breeding ground for microbes and bacteria. and if your skin had any contact with it, you will developed that itchy little sort of mosquito bites stuff. so what i will do is wash my feet with soap(safeguard) then apply anti itch medication sanitary balm or katinko.
For junk foods i cant resist either, what we can do is look for healthier substitute...for me i cant resist peanuts, what sort of junk food do you eat?

That's funny, st3ph. We all have something like that, it seems. I can resist eating food that is not good for me but I have a hard time resisting the urge to scratch when something itches. Don't get me wrong, I am not totally a healthy eater, but when I set my mind to it I can resist junk food. But not matter how hard I set my mind to not scratching, it doesn't seem to help. I do try to do some of the things like your mom suggests, but before I know it I am stratching like crazy.
