Hey there Top Guy - so do I. When I saw this post, I related to it but wasn't going to go there and then I saw that you beat me to it. I'd be happy to share notes in a PM, if you'd like. I've had it close to one year and I can't live without the cortisone cream after showering. It keeps it under control. I was warned by the dermatologist that it is worse in the summer months with the heat and he was right. I'm no longer a sun worshipper so survived it. I don't think Avalon's intention of the post was to evoke "Grover's Disease". I usually alert the masseurs to it since the application of a hot towel directly on the area is not comforting.
