Another thing to reduce inflammation which will lead to flare up is to take pure cold pressed olive oil and garlic( with a piece of bread) . This I started 10 days ago and seems to be beneficial

Exceptional Description.
I have tried many substances. The best I found is petroleum jelly as it seems to melt the harsh skin.
Also there are organic creams from Ghana Chocho and mercy which also help.
Sea water is also good to reduce inflammation and puritus for about 3 hours. After 3 hours one should take a shower and moisturize the skin
