Thank you for sharing.
Can I ask what creams do you use? Do you experience any irritation, inflammation or itchiness?
That seems to come & go with me. Just when I think I’m over it, it starts up again. This really interferes with my quality of life!

I used a compounded cream of lidocaine & silvadene for 2 years. My Dr just changed it to clobetasol propionate ointment. I didn't realize it changed until I picked up. My New ointment seems to be working okay. The irritation, itching and inflammation is ongoing and unfortunately every time you sit or stand up you irritate it. It certainly does change things in regards to quality of life. But I will take it over death. #CANCERSUCKS
