A new rule-we don't pretend we 'know' others didn't have it.

Interesting. How about a new rule that we don't pretend we 'know' what other posters have as problems?

I was there, off and on, for years. I just kept using the silver gel to beat it back down, but not to the point of getting it gone obviously.

I just never let it get so out of control because I had that resource, unlike folks here. I didn't go full peel, ever. I'm sorry this resource was never offered here.

And why would I have taken a before pic?? Because I knew I'd have to prove to YOU that I had the problem? So I guess what you're saying is that I'm not psychic enough or something? Shame on me.

Try silver gel--it can't work any worse than these inane goober things you're already trying.
