Hello to all. I had a question that I am hoping someone can answer. Does anyone exercise regularly? I am just wondering does that help with the flare ups. i Know most of us are in a lot of pain but I still wanted to know if it helps.

    Hello, I do as much as possible. (triathlete - sometimes the bike is not a good idea! ouch!) Just make sure you don't stay in sweaty shorts for an extended time after. Get a hot shower to get clean asap, since warm, moist and dark are the perfect growth conditions. I also know for me, no gluten, reduced sugar and CBD pills help control flare ups. Good luck to you!

    I Think sweat is a big issue, been washing up more, and using talc. Monistat helps for areas that chap.

    Thank you guys for responding. i know working out is hard. but I wanted to know for myself if it helped any. I am trying to get into working out so I can reduce the flare ups. I know you would definitely have to take a bleach bath or shower right after to alleviate new flare ups. Again thanks
