Monica,

 

It doesn't seem as severe although I do have a couple of new places.  But they don't seem to blistering like the first ones did.  I tried some Dawn detergent and cleaned everything off good with some peroxide then dried it and then only in the raw areas used some aloe from my plant.  The aloe gives me some relief but I'm afraid that oily substances might aggravate it.  I also found I had some tea tree oil soap that I've been using and I've been a lot more conscientious about changing my sheets frequently.  So I think keeping it clean and dry has helped.  And I stopped dumping everything but the kitchen sink on it and just left it alone.  But I am still concerned to see new spots emerging.  Not a good sign at all. I really appreciate your taking the time to respond to these questions.  I've never used one of these message boards for anything but it's surprising how comforting it is to talk with somebody who knows what's going on.  Thanks, again!

 

Di
