Sticking Pain

A myHSteam Member asked a question πŸ’­
Rex, GA

Hello Team Members. Do anyone have a very sharp pain in the lesions that feel like a needle is sticking in them? If so, why?

Yes... And for a number of reasons, in order of how common the reason is:

1. Open sores touch or scrape against fabric
2. Closed but swelling sore touches or scrapes fabric.
3. Regional hair close to sore touches or falls into open sore
4. Adhesive from plaster / bandage attached to a hair , causing it to be pulled.
5. No good determinable reason.

Ive been using Vicks as recommended by someone here for the ladt few daysand it seems to help with the really sharp pains by dullening general sensitivity.

Yes I do, I think it’s when the tracts underneath the inflamed spot run- merge together creating lots of pressure.

Most definitely. it could be a buildup of pressure from fluid that wants to get out.

Yes quite regular and I also think it's from the inflammation in the tracts. Sending gentle hugs x

Yes!! I get those when I have flare ups. Just awful 😞 it's definitely from the inflammation in my case.
