Thank you for this.I was so happy to find the home remedy on this forum.I then was not sure if it was an ingredient in the brand Palmolive that made it effective. I will start with a softer handwash soap, we do get Spongebob here in England.I think it is good idea to visit a dermatologist and have a skin culture test, at least be sure what one is dealing with.And we have a much more effective healthcare system here (thank goodness), after seeing "Sicko", not sure how you guys survive.This forum has been so informative. Thanks especially to Bohemiam Tom for the remedy and readily available advice.
