Bandages
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

I have a spot on the side my breast. It is aggravated by friction from my bra and the arm seam of my shirt's. I am sensitive to adhesive tapes and it is a sensitive area. I have used paper tape and a nonstick pad but that doesn’t stay on well. Any bandage recommendations? What do other folks use in sensitive areas? Thanks. ❤️‍🩹

Bad Flare On Inner Thigh
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

I have a bad flare on my inner thigh. Does anyone have any recommendations on how I can bring this to a head to allow it to drain? It's currently purple and very inflamed. I've flared in the exact same spot 4 times in 2 months and it never seems to burst, it just eventually goes away but only with prescribed antibiotics.
