Mystery Face Rash - Any help would be much appreciated.
Over the last 5 years I have had discolouration around my mouth, nose and forehead. Nothing on my cheeks at all. It's like a triangle shape from the mouth up to the nose.

When you’re sick and it’s not cancer.
As you move forward in recovery you will once again have to deal with things like colds and bronchitis and other problems that have nothing to do with your cancer. After a recent (benign) skin biopsy I was having pain at that biopsy site. I went back to the dermatologist and was told it was due to

Tampons for grade 1 bladder prolapse (cystocele)
Hi. I have never used tampons, I'm 46 but due to the prolapse would like to hear from anyone who successfully improves their symptoms with them. I just successfully used them (regular) for 3 days whilst on my period. I have read that super tampons are best. I've also read that taking a tampon out dry

Sitz Bath ingredients
Does anyone have a favourite oil or ingredient to add into their sitz bath? I looked it up on Google and there was a long list from Epsom salts to witch hazel. Does anyone have their favourite, if not for the sitz bath, for an ordinary bath (pardon the denigration 🤣). Lesley
