Hi Sandy,
The oatmeal baths are a great idea. I can pick up the Aveno bath. That should help her. So am going to try that. How are you?

I remember some of my worst rashes appeared after a few of my blocks. But others were just random. And I'm sure it was the RSD, because I had never had had problems with them before and I was 47 or 48 years old at the time.
The rashes didn't last very long, I only had them off and on for about 4-6 months and then they just stopped. Hopefully Lindsay's rashes will do the same. Really hot showers helped reduce the itch somewhat. You could also try warm oatmeal baths.
Good luck to you -- Sandy
