I tried quite a few things to reduce the contact between the bad bits and the sock....but tbh nothing really helped. They either blocked air flow and make that area sweat and fire up anyway, or they moved or rubbed or caused irritation. In the end I gave up and just stuck with the desensitisation and working through it. That was just me though, I'm not saying don't try anything!!

You'll get there, honest Never give up hope that it will improve. I found the early months so much worse than now, there seemed no end to the burning pain and redness...now I still get it, but less often and for less time, and I've learnt what I can do to minimize it when it happens.
