Hi everyone, does anyone else get itching in spots that are not flaring? It’s been a few days and it’s awful. What do you do to get rid of it??
Cortisone cream or an over the counter antihistamine
Yes absolutely!
I was recently diagnosed last year but realize I have had flare ups for a few years. We just always thought they were ingrown hairs in my groin/pantyline. Currently in the midst of one and I’m miserable. I’m lucky b/c mine aren’t that bad, but I’m terrified of what they could become.
Also I love my Rheumatologist .....
