I agree with AmberWright - I have developed certain routines to avoid touching and irritating skin - All my own invention - I comes out shower and literally sit on a towel, use another to gently pat dry or just air dry . My best friends are sudocrem, talc, daktacort cream, micropore tape, cotton wool circles. The glamour never stops but until I’ve done my lotion and potion routine I can’t relax and get on with my cappuccino made with whole beans - it’s the little things that keep me happy 😊. All good thoughts and wishes to those in the same boat as me. For decades I thought I was travelling this journey solo. Now I find a whole flotilla of wise travellers sharing tips. Take care 💫

I feel your pain. My mine is called Walter. He is a mean ass neighbor I build a fence he takes it down. Id build a wall but I'm afraid of the consequences. Don't touch. I know it's hard.

AmberWright - Thank you so much, I'm genuinely relieved someone else has terrible neighbours. 💗 I'm not sure how well cussing is tolerated on this platform, but (to put it mildly) Walter can jog on! 🖕 Much love in your direction.

Lexie2 - Thank you too, that's some excellent advice. Although I know Sudacrem seems to do me no favours with my HS (everywhere else it's a magic cream and I'm never without it!), you've given me some new ideas to scribble down on my increasing list of things to try. 💞 I also know what you mean, I signed up to MyHS on a frustrated whim and I have been floored by the positive effect it's had on my ability to cope with everything that's going on. Much love in your direction.
