With the summer coming and the increase in temperature in my area, I have been having a lot of flare ups in my groin. I go on and off doxycycline, as well as use benzaclin topically. I have gained some weight (that I'm trying to lose) so I have been sweating more. Any tips for preventing or helping flare ups in the summer heat?
I make sure to wear cotton clothing, no elastic touching my skin. I prefer to wear the ladies boxer type undergarments too. I will also use an anti-chafing gel to prevent flare ups in addition to surgical dressings in the groin of each leg. Hope this helps?
I use hibiclens. You get it at Walmart ask the pharmacist
Its a microbial scrub it helps with bacteria. They use it in hospitals.
You can use a cornstarch powder and wear gauze also speak with your doctor about steroid shots when I say my groin area was the worst and after her taking her Time to help me swelling has gone down not as sore to walk or touch
No underwear unless absolutely necessary
I use calendula powder its much better than talc or deodorant.
