I tried "Geritrex Benzoin Compound Tincture Topical Skin Protectant 2oz Each." It really helped me. I'd put a wafer on and within minutes, I'd be feeling like there was a fire, and by 30 minutes, I'd tear the wafer off. On my first try with the above, I kept a wafer on for 2 full days without a burn or itch. Walgreens can order it for you, no need for a prescription, and they had it the next day. It costs approximately 7 bucks, goes a long way, and I used a Q-tip to apply it. It stung for a few seconds, but not worse than the burning I had before. After I put a coat on, I used a blow dryer and put a second coat on. It remains sticky and helps the wafer stick really well too! Good luck.
