Everything that touches my skin was (and still is) painful. I no longer wear pants. Sometimes, I could wear light/cotton long sleeves but on most times, I avoid long sleeves.

I have troubles wearing pants also. I wear dresses with a straight line. Yoga pants with fold over waist are the most comfortable pants as I can adjust waist band.
I use CVS fragrance free anti-itch lotion which helps a little.
