I have noticed that since I stopped ...well, washing that area with soap or body wash...I have been much better. I only use water.
Could there actually be relevance to this? I know not everyone would be helped by this, but I just wonder if I was indeed making myself dried out and cracking? It just seems too simple.
However, when I think of the time-frame, this problem did not start with me until I started washing with soaps. Growing up, I never did and I had even heard once that it would upset your natural cleansers, but as I got to be about mid-twenties, I wanted to be spotless clean!
However, I have also been taking more B Vitamins. So maybe that is it, however, I did that once before, too, and didn't notice this kind of change.
So far, I have been able to cut back dramatically on my generic Miralax intake. Sometimes I totally skip it. For the past year, I have been taking it 2 x a day!
Also, I am almost 37 weeks pregnant. I don't know that this would help out my problem...I know it usually makes it worse! So, I am confused.
Well, anyway, we'll see! I'll be back in the future (hopefully) to let you know, if you are interested.
