Hi all,
Hoping sharing this info may help others.
My P started to get really bad about 2 years ago. I have it on my scalp and my backside mainly, other little flare ups here and there.
My backside is soo sore, its incredibly painful, its the inverted type, smooth red skin and so very very very sore....... Dovonex cream kinda helps a little but not much. Its gets to the point where I was trying to eat so little as going to the toilet was so very painful, the skin there must of has small cracks etc as there is sometimes a tiny bit of blood, so you can imagine when going to the loo it was painful beyond belief.
Showers stung like crazy, only a bath really would do as the skin was soo red and sore.
I have found that Johnsons baby oil brings MASSIVE pain relief, I cannot stress just how much pain has gone
Now I can shower, leave that are wet, and then put some baby oil on my hand and apply it, leave it for a minute then pat the area dry.
Its like someone has flicked the pain switch off, I really mean that. If you suffer from this painful area, then you know what I mean! try it! shower, aplly the oil, wait, pat dry and oh my god...... bliss pure heavly bliss...
Of course, my face and scalp still make me a hideous monster and I hate to go out the house, but at least I can go to the loo again
:-)
