Preventing Flare Ups: Daily Habits for Chronic Illness

I take a tumeric supplement. It really has made a huge difference. I ran out and it took 2 weeks and sure enough I flared up. I can't afford the surgery. Or the recovery time off work so I live with managing. I also keep the area dry. Summer butt sweat seems to bug it. I will sometimes go to the bathroom just to pat the area. I use feminine wipes sometimes. Clean underwear always. I also give an extra rinse in the shower there before stepping out because any strands of hair supposedly can cause them. You can shave the area weekly too which I keep saying I will start doing.
