Which areas of your body are the worst places you've flared?
Arms, legs, hands, face, ears, eyes, etc. There are so many places a flare-up can show up. Which locations are the worst and most aggravating? Which locations are the hardest to treat?
Ear and forear
The areas most affected are my arms, legs, and tops of my feet now. They are very sensitive to sunlight and seem to dry out quickly. When this first started, it was my entire body from the neck down, and it was so difficult to get salve to the hard-to-reach places, like my middle back, so I devised a back bath brush with some gauze and rubber bands and was able to reach the middle, upper regions! It took about three/four weeks to gain back that area and a couple more weeks to get back the arms and legs. For some reason, the tops of my feet will just start burning and itching at the oddest times, even waking me in the middle of the night! What a relief my prescription salve is at those times! Have others had this same sensation?
