Folks, it's aggrevating and a HUGE annoyance for sure but it will go away. Warm Aveeno baths work for me, and then I cake myself with any product that will stop the oozing and dry up the infected area. I agree that the HOT water treatment is extremely euphoric and a toe curling experience but it left me with blisters between my fingers that ended up seeping even more after they popped, hence a possible infection that could be worse than when you started. I take an OTC antihistamine such as Benadryl before bed and it works for me. It could be the 2 glasses of red wine I have with it as well but I am comfortable. I have it now and it's nice to know there are other people out there I can commiserate with on a daily basis. I wish you all a speedy recovery. All the best!!
