Hi Wildseeker,I am glad you are healing finally. Now is the time to switch gears and moisturize your skin if you are over the oozing stage. Dry skin equals skin that is dying and will flake or peel off. Everything you are currently using except for the cold water treatment is causing cell dehydration. Start putting a high quality organic moisturizer on your rashes such as Shea Butter cream, Emu Oil, Vitamin E cream or oil, or Pure Aloe Vera so you skin can renew itself underneath. Make sure you use a product that does not contain mineral oil IF you can. Unfortunately they put it in just about everything. Do not use vaseline. These ingredients smother your pores and healing skin needs oxygen. If it gets too dry and starts to crack, it will take longer to heal and with that scenario you run the risk of infection. Good luck! [email protected]
