How Do You Deal With Going Out In Public?

A myHSteam Member asked a question πŸ’­
Tolar, TX

One of the reasons I don't like going out in public anymore is due to the odor when my sores are oozing or when they rupture on their own at the worst possible time. My sense of smell doesn't work that well any more due to having covid multiple times but if I can smell it, I'm afraid others will too. My son's dog seems to be hypersensitive to the smell because with this current flare up, the dog follows me around the house with his nose glued to my butt.

Get 4x4 bandages and stick them in your bra or panty line. I've never had one fall out. I use bacitracin ointment and it helps them stick and stay in place. The dogs, all dogs! Follow me like I have a pork chop stuck to my crotch! It's embarrassing, but keep in mind that it's a dog! They crotch sniff every human and animal. You know why they are doing it to you, but no one else does unless you tell them. A lot of times, when I'm afraid that I might stink, I get the Dream Angels from Victoria Secret and put it on my legs and arms and no one can smell anything but my lotion! 😁 They also have a spray that I can use on my clothes. It takes very little. I used to make my mom do a "smell check" before I went out. She was brutally honest and swore I didn't stink. Hope this helps! πŸ€—

I don't know if it clogs pores or not, I just know it keeps me cool under my boobs. And the gold bond medicated powder definitely keeps me dry and feels cool. But you do raise a good question. I'll have to Google it and maybe message my dermatologist on the patient portal.

Diane, I use the Gold Bond Medicated Powder. I love it, it's great to put under your breast and under your stomach. It feels great!πŸ˜€
