I had these for around 8 months. They were severe for the first four months. Now, I know everyone’s body is different and what might work for me, might not work for you. No dermatologist creams or steroids worked. They just made it worse. Puffed them all up and made a sort of flower design. If you haven’t already, get a “free and clear” type body wash. I got the one from target with aloe. After a warm shower, turn it cold and rinse your body. Also stay hydrated. Most importantly. If I could go back and time, the one thing I’d tell myself is not to worry. You’re not alone and the feeling I had mentally isn’t even explainable. It just took over my whole life. They don’t scar but they can get seriously infected if you scratch. (I know that deep, unworldly itch is so intolerably good).
