Right, well, first off, I love it here. i especially love it because there are plenty of intelligent, witty posters.
However, I am frequently surprised at threads relating to pornography, exchanging sex for "gifts" and fanjo shaving, etc. Now, I know we've all got different ideas about what is acceptable, but sometimes it's like feminism never happened.

Have you tried the old porridge-oats-in-the-bath trick madamez? It's good for eczema.

YES how i laugh seeing the tights avec porridge hanging off the taps.but it really works

I remove armpit fluff itchy smelly stuff and I remove long dangly leg hair on sunny days when I remember Society doesn't like it. Oh and the tache gets it often. I see myself as feminist pre or post not sure what.

Sorry to hear you got psoriasis madamez. I have a friend who has big outbreaks often and I always think she looks lovely regardless.

I'm sure you dont look pretty gross madamez. But yes, it might well take a while for you to get used to it. Dont bother with aqueous cream.

I've heard of all sorts of natural remedies. A friend of mine tried banana skins, and, aloe vera. She found aloe vera products most helpful. She also noted that hers escalated at hte peak of her menopause.

Do you suffer arthritis too?
