Trust me to be working on the hottest and dare I say most humid night of the year.
Even with air con, and probably due to the fact the shift was so busy, by 5 am I felt as though I was smelling like a dirty whore of an unfit mother .
Having no time to shower and not having any change of uniform..I resorted to a tried and trusted fall back.... A quick delve with a packet of borrowed wet wipes and a squirt of some nicked antiperspirant
Big mistake.......
I forgot that I have overly sensitive skin
And from 6 am my now fragrant groins and " nether regions" now feel as if a very large man is sand papering them with gusto
Hey ho....
A lesson learnt eh?

I thought you would like that.
ReplyDeleteSome people pay a lot of money for that
ReplyDeleteoops! hope you recover your smooth as a babys' bum skin soon!
ReplyDeleteOn the day of my Sisters' wedding, many moons ago, my Dad thought he'd better try some of this new fangled spray deodorant stuff..........he only went and sprayed his armpits with pompadour hair laquer! So he held up the queue for the one and only bathroom whilst he washed it off.
its a bit like childbirth the memory fades and every summer my other half does the exact same thing...got to love him
ReplyDeleteOMB, JOHN! next time, plain water, ok?
ReplyDelete(I too am chemically sensitive)
Oooooh! Painful!!
ReplyDeleteI keep telling everyone this, but natural Thai crystal deodorant is 100% effective, safe and odourless. It is miracle stuff and I would never be without it.
ReplyDeleteSame could be said for using peppermint foot spray to freshen up other clammy regions.
ReplyDeleteFortunately, it was only the back of my neck though.
Only one word to say ouch
ReplyDeleteswamp ass strikes again
ReplyDeleteOooooh....hope it clears up quickly. Take a bath in baking soda and water.
ReplyDeletethey say that wet-wipe dermatitis is on the rise!
ReplyDeletei have used alcohol wipes as deodorant, they are very effective
A liberal application of Dettol on the affected regions should work wonders (for any observers).
ReplyDeleteOw ow ow ow ow and OUCH!
ReplyDeleteOh dear.....carry a wet washcloth in a ziplock bag (or a container of some kind) for such emergencies! Ouch.
ReplyDeleteouch!
ReplyDeleteI presume you sat in a bucket of cold water when you finally arrived home.
ReplyDeleteI have super sensitive skin too, as well as hellish eczema. Hope your tender spots feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteWe have eczema in the family and I have given two of my children evening primrose oil capsules and cleared theirs quite young. For an adult take 2000mg per day and it takes a couple of weeks to filter through. (I had severe infantile eczema in the sixties and my mum used to put olive oil on me!!!!) My childhood was blood stained sheets and complete bandaging.
DeleteAlternatively starflower oil is stronger than evening primrose.
Good luck if you try it.

Thank you, if it's safe I will give it a try. Steroid creams lose effectiveness after awhile. I never had eczema until I was 19, but twenty years later it's gotten worse than ever.
DeleteOh dear, bit like chopping a chilli and having a scratch! Not done twice.
ReplyDeleteWould it feel better if the man wielding the sandpaper were Mr. Crowe?
ReplyDeleteToo bloody right
DeleteOw!! Do you have lockers at work? If so, maybe keeping a travel size container of soap and other toiletries wouldn't go amiss. Or just go with the stink until you get home.
ReplyDeleteAck - torture!
ReplyDeleteIf I have said it once I have said thousands of times: People are too scared of smell and the faintest whiff of body.
ReplyDeleteLeave off those deodorants. When the Angel - who showers evangelically - leaves the house I air the whole place. The stink of his deo is awful. As yet I haven't been able to explain to him that water will suffice.Still, my time will come. Or not.
U
I'm so sorry. That must be very uncomfortable.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Ouch.
ReplyDelete"Cien" roll on deodorant from "Lidl" is cheap and kind to sensitive skin. Do you think that would be a good advertising slogan? There's nowt worse than a smelly nurse.
ReplyDeletePlain yoghurt is good for "burns".... a bit kinky round the nether regions but needs must!
ReplyDeleteJo in Auckland, NZ
Coconut oil. No pun intended.
ReplyDeleteOuch!!
ReplyDeleteAs another with exremely sensitive skin I can imagine the itchy, scratchy pain you are now going through ... but yes ... as you say we all do it ... over and over and over again :-(
LOL! @ yorkshire puddings' possible slogan! Could extend to their feet too!
ReplyDeleteSeriously the western world is so behind the times, we need those bum washing hoses they have attached to the toilets in asia or bidets like Europe. As it is I make do with a good wash with the aid of a water bottle and some hand soap. Pat dry with loo paper. TMI ?
ReplyDeleteOh, John, you made me laugh! But I'm so sorry for your predicament. I hope you have it resolved. And I really needed that laugh though....
