Has anyone else finished their Carac treatment and then been EXTREMELY raw? I finished up my three weeks, then it dried and cracked, and now most of the scabs have sloughed off. I thought I'd be feeling some relief from the itchiness but I'm not, and the pain now is actually worse and I'm red, shiny and weepy. Is this normal? How long until I don't hurt and the redness subsides? HELP!
Ask your doctor if you can use Aquaphor. I have and it really helps! The doctor didn't tell me about it, I found out about it here. He told me after I had been using this for a few days that Vasoline works too but I think it smells funny. I bought mine at Wal-Mart and it was in the cosmetics department with body lotions and hand creams. It's kind of greasy but it works so who cares.
