Sore bits.....

[phatmomma]

Right i have a question... I have a sore spot under my apron tummy at the top of my groin area, right in the crease. It's not the first time and usually i'd throw a bit of sudocream at it and let it heal that way... However i'm wondering should i go the Dr's with it? Not because it's really bad, just very red n sore, but because if a miracle ever happens and i get to a healthy bmi and need a tummy tuck surely this will not do my plea any harm....

What do you think? xx

Deffo, make an appt & go....all evidence helps your case if you get the chance to apply to the PCT in the future!

go for it julie, i have had a similar thing for a while, funnily enough its not as bad since ive lost weight, but anyway, the doctor gives me cream to put on it, and also under my boobs too. so not only will it help with the actual soreness, like you say, it might just go for you should you want an op later on. i get timodine, for mine, and it clears it up within a few days. hope you get it sorted soon hun, hugsxxxx

I am just starting my WLS journey so my tummy is huge. I often used to get really sore, between the groin and tummy and under my breasts. I started used a talc called Cuticura, its a medicated talc and you can buy it most chemists and supermarkets. To me it is a life saver. When i was most sore i used it every couple of hours or so. Now I just use daily as a preventitive.
Hope this might help.

See him but canestan hydrocortisone 1% will shift it.

Go for it Julie, its all in the medical evidence Up there for thinking, down there for dancing X

Haha Jacqui... that made me smile..

Seriously Julie, I think Jacqui may be with me on this one... we have talked about skin and in particular these types of problems... they can become worse and inflammed, so I would see the doc... I have had something similar and have been prescribed Cepton antiseptic body wash, which firstly keeps the area clean, there is a risk of it breaking down and becoming infected...

When totally dry try the canestan powder which is quite healing...

I think Lin is quite right with the Canestan cream, I think it's a hydrocortisone, so it can thin the skin with prolonged usage. If I remember right from when I had to use it.

I also think it's worthwhile flagging it up with your GP and getting it on your casenotes because of starting your case and argument for potential apronectomy in the future...

Love and hugs Julie and hoping this doesn't escalate and become even more uncomfortable for you precious xxx

I agree with everyone's comments (including Jacqui's, ha, ha!!). Get yourself to the doc's!

I use Femfresh talc free powder in my creases,especially after showering.Sudecrem when inflamed and Canestan 1% if bad!

 

[Zionaka]

Yep, I'd say go get it documented now.... you never know when you might need that GP's letter of support.

Julie I have this, and have been prescribed daktokort by my gp which soon sorts it out every time i have a flare up. When I had my plastics consult last Monday, he said the only reason Im getting my tummy done is due to the constant infections as they wont do it on cosmetic reasons alone.

 

[phatmomma]

Thanks everyone, i will get it looked at. I'm sure i could buy something but i want the medical evidence in case a miracle happens and i get plastics xx

 

[yorkiegal]

I've got this too at the moment and it stings like mad. Thanks everyone for the reccommendations of creams and talcs. I too will mention it to my gp on the next visit. Every little helps lol.

I get this under my boobs more than stomach and have been too embarassed to see the GP lol I use canestan on it but seeing as you might need it on your records for future plastics I would go.

Julie this may be a pain but you need to go to the doc every time. But if GP finds a cream that works and puts it on repeat for you make sure if you ask for a referral she/he includes how many times and how often the prescription has been issued. Best if you keep a record too. Infections are a key criteria for NHS apronectomy in many areas.

Hope it clears up soon

Hi Julie, my GP prescribes me a cream called something beginning with a T and it works perfectly each time I have a flare up. I must admit its not that often, but when it does it's flippin sore. Sort of appears out of the blue, anyway do go to see the GP because there is stuff which can help.

 

[dawny]

is it timodine beth, i get that from my gp, and it works well, clears it up within a day or so, its a very weak steroid cream, i just have to ring up and ask for it now.

Hello, sounds similar and it does work quickly with only a tiny bit of creams, has a weird smell as well.
