Thanks for the welcome!

This flare-up is certainly not as bad as it could be but the burning sensation has been persistent for several weeks now and has not immediately responded to clobetasol. Previously, I never needed more than a bedtime application for 2-3 days and am very leery of over usage.
Not sure exactly what made me think of aloe vera but possibly that it is a soothing topical treatment for sunburn. I had a distilled version on hand so I tried swishing and spitting several times before bed and it seemed to help a little. So I started trying to find out if anyone else had tried aloe vera and did find an NIH link which may not be shared on this forum.

There are several other sites that mention using the GEL form the same way (swish and spit) so I will proceed.

Has anyone had luck finding toothpaste, possibly with aloe, that does not also contain triggers like mint, citrus or cinnamon?

Thanks again for this group and its support.
