Can you explain the different stages please. I'm still constantly wanting to learn more about this mystery POS curse we all have to deal with+!

Yes I have, and it helped a little, but depends on what stage the lesion is or bump. I use aloe gel alot, between sun, different not healed bumps/lesions. I do not use it ilon ones that have been at the crater stage, it didn't help, but encouraged toward infection for me.
It's really hard for me to get past the sliminess of fresh aloe, even tho I love aloe products!
