I have severe issues with skin pain. All of it feels like I took a sandpaper bath. Especially the inside of my leg where I have stretch marks.
Does any one have this...and have tips for how to handle or soothe it?
I want to take a bath but recent tattoo work prevents me from soaking for a week after the fresh ink.
(yes, I have about 30% of my body covered in tattoos. With all the pain I have daily, getting tattoos is actually easier than it was before the illness)
Hi Lyra, I get this from time to time and it stinks! Sometimes just the shower water can hurt like I have a bad sunburn, it makes bra strapes and hard fabrics like jeans really unbearable, so I know how you feel. I have used Tui balm before and it seems to help especially in the really bad spots. A friend had recommende it to me for massaging pain spots but i find it soothing for this too. It comes in all different types from warming to cooling. I usually use the vanilla or the warm, plus it makes the skin smooth and they smell nice:) hope that helps
thanks. I will find some of this. Today since it was mostly my legs, I put on my tight zella leggings and the compression really helped get me through the day
Have you ever tried bee stings? The sounds odd but the stings promduce endorphans and the venom helped me. But you can’t if your allergic of course.
