Guys I need help. My dermatologist books out months in advance but my back has been breaking out so bad and it’s been so itchy that I can’t sleep at all. Can’t wear a shirt or anything. I’ve washed my sheets and my clothes and nothing is helping

firstly try sleeping on your stomach just to avoid friction. also add a thick layer of aloe vera to your back to calm and soothe itching

I rediscovered oxy pads and I had my boyfriend use them on my back last night. I slept for 14 hours and may have found a temporary solution

oh, might sound extreme, but if you can and are able to, look into fasting:)
