I have this condition and have had from some years now. I was prescribed Dermovite cream which is a steroid and although it works to reduce the inflammation I don't take kindly to anything prescribed by GP's, so rarely use it and found other ways to bring some comfort. I use Emuaid Cream, which has proved to be a great success. However, I think it may be certain fabrics that cause this problem because I always buy stretch fabric jeans and there is one particular pair that has more elastane in than others. I find that when I sit in them for a prolonged time, the itching begins. It could also be washing powders or softeners used in your machines. For now I'm going through the fabric experiment!

I absolutely agree regarding certain stretch fabrics. The more elastane in jeans, the worse things are as I suffer from this condition too!

Another example of how microplastics are poisoning us, this time from the outside. I changed underwear brands years ago and while it didn't make the LC go away, it drastically reduced the frequency and intensity of outbreaks. I was wearing a cotton-lycra brand that I liked b/c it fit so well. but I realized after a couple days of wearing cotton underwear with no lycra that it went from an almost constant irritation to barely noticeable almost overnight.
