meli....
is it Angela keys?... no check that Alicia Keys .....for a long time aftet surgery my butt was on fire !!! ...and for quite a while my best and most reliable treatment was a tub of Noxzema Cold Cream... get in the shower and put it on liberally...
I'm not a doctor or a nurse but I've never had anyone tell me that I shouldn't have done that and I never had problems from doing it and boy was it good relief...
Happily I can report that the problem does get better and better overtime course there are new issues to deal with which we all have our own special type it seems but give it a try....
