I just thought I’d do a quick update, I have had some success with a more recent, rather extreme and cumbersome but somewhat effective treatment method, so just thought I’d pass it on (for those desperate!). Remember I said that I didn’t get any sores where there was friction or pressure, pressure such as that from support hose ? Yes, I decided to ‘adapt’ some support hose for my arms (I simply cut the foot off and the lace top off an old pair) and wore these under long sleeved jumpers, stretching them over the top of my shoulders and tucking them under my bra strap! Before I did this, I made my own ‘elastoplasts’ out of non-irritating micropore tape and a bit of folded up paper tissue, onto which I slapped some Sudacrem and painstakingly covered each sore (all done immediately after bathing).

Crazy, I know, but effective!
