What are your go-to flare care items?

Help! What are your tried and true solutions when a flare breaks out?

  1. Steroids

  2. Zinc Oxide ointment. I recently bought a tube of it for $3. It is available OTC at drug stores everywhere. It seems to work well, suppressing itching and redness for several days. I had been using Triamcinalone and zinc oxide works slightly better than that did.

    1. Thanks for sharing this tip! Finding relief for $3 is a huge win. I'm really happy this has been helpful for you and is keeping the redness and itching under control. Sending thoughts your way. Warmly, Erin (team member)

  3. 💯 percent coconut oil, Vaseline

  4. Amish healing cream
