I use head and shoulders for hair and scalp .. classic clean which has been working for the itch and some nodules that developed on my scalp.
For body I use Aveeno oatmeal Fragrance free body wash
Dove bar … regular because the original seems to work too when I run out of my aveeno body wash.

For my face I use aveeno calming fragrance free wash and cream set. Haven’t used the creams for my face yet because I want this PN to be so under control that I don’t have to worry about a rash developing because I tried before and I felt the stinging 24/7 … so I stopped ..
So what do for moisture on my face and body after I wash and shower is Vaseline and Eucerin-Daily hydration light lotion
(I find the heavy ones to be too thick and sticky)
I mix equal amounts together to make a creamy mix … and I just slap it on my face and body and I find that it keeps you moisturized the whole day .. I say about 8-10 hours .. from morning till evening dinner time … then when I start feeling the itch that’s my Que to shower because the sweat and just the movement from day over will make my PN so irritated. So I say fuck it I’m showering… I do that after I eat dinner and clean up the apt for the night.
( I have OCD too so for me I have to clean kitchen and bathroom and sweep floor before I get ready for bed… helps me cope with the stress and anxiety before Covid I was like This … after omg it went up times 10 fold ) but I’m trying to take it as it is .. can’t change things I don’t have control
Over … PN … we have the control… that bitch needs to go👉🏽🤣😀

I use Dove for dandruff and the matching conditioner. I alternate with head and shoulders dry scalp. I use a salicylate face wash and body wash. I also use different masks charcoal with vitamin c is fabulous. It is very soothing and helps with redness and inflammation. I use bactin for any nodules that are hurting badly .
