Try calamine and/or: Hydrocortisone cream, Benadryl (diphenhydramine) tabs for severe itching, if it becomes redder and pussy, add neosporin to prevent infection. Go see your dr if it worsens. Take care!

Remove it from skin.: I've had fiberglass in my skin, so i know it's miserable. 1 method: add 1 cup epsom salt into boiling water. Add this mix to warm bath & soak affected area x 30 min or longer. Rinse w cool water. Method #2: gently apply duct tape to affected area & then quickly rip off. Don't push don't too firmly because the glass fibers may embed deeper in your skin. Note: may remove hair.
