I hear you and have had the same problem. I wear long sleeve loosely fitted Cotten shirts. They seem to help deflect and not snag through to my skin. Both my husband and I use Corium 21 unscented cream. Use it sparingly 2x a day it soaks into the skin and actually will show an amazing difference in one month. I say use sparingly as less is best. It is expensive but worth every dime. You can find it on Amazon. Buy the 8 Oz jar. You can return it but give it time.
Best to you, Jilly
