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. ❤️🩹

This beast has ended any thoughts I had about sex. For real, if they are in the groin/buttocks. Fugedaboutit.
I am already taking antibiotics and pain killers to no avail. And it's to the point of tears and if anyone has any tips please I'm all ears

What do you guys do when you get super depressed? I have been on an emotional rollercoaster lately and it seems like the "down" days are starting to take over my life. I have been on short term disability since mid-January due to a bad flare and it has been rough to say the least. I am now finally able to at least sit on my butt like a normal human and I'm trying really hard to stay positive, but some days it just all seems impossible. Anybody else struggle with depression?

I know the doctor says you shouldn’t do this and I know you have to be really careful not to get sepsis, but sometime the pain is so bad and I cannot get an appointment I will cut myself to ease it, does anybody do this also?
Thank you but can you tell me what brand of DMSO cream you use ? @A myHSteam Member
My inner thigh skin is more sensitive even to the better waterproof less irritating glue bandages. I need to prevent friction over a bump that can’t make up its mind if it wants to come to a head or hide and dissolve. The glue makes a rash. What now?
Baby powder and desitin in the areas. Like my c section area among others that kinda sweat a lil more..
After my late husband, I have not had an intimate relationship because of fear, shame and anxiety. It’s been years and I’m so lonely. I don’t know how to move forward…
I fear that humiliation. I’m so sorry you have to go through this…
