OK, here is a odd one that took a month to figure out.

Laugh if you must. :laugh: :laugh:


Just because you have hand soap in the bathroom, doesn't mean it is good to wash up with.

OMG, I was worried and finally called the doctor. :sick: :sick:

In the eve's and the morn's when I don't need to shower, just a light dusting off, so to speak, I grab a clean rag, and put the soap on, warm water and wash up.

But then I started getting a rash on my bikini line, pits, crack and under my breasts... neck and behind my ears....

I was itchy and felt yucky and thought, well I have been sweaty from my work outs and all and I was using a anti fungal cream for it. And I was sun burned from the past 3 weekends nad at times hit the tanning bed before I go to the beach. :yawn: :yawn:

Then I thought, oh crap, I have been using hand soap instead of my original body wash.

How stupid is that??? :blushing: :blushing:

Why is our skin so sensitive?? I'm OK now, but it was a scare. I thought I was having allergic reactions to things.
