How to make cuts sting less in the bath?

[chicken_nugget24]

I can't bandage or put plasters on them unfortunately as they are all over my legs. I need to wash everyday because it helps with my depression. What do I do please?

[SnowedIn]

There are over the counter topical products that have a small amount of lidocaine in them. Put that on, wait until the pain dulls, then get in the bath. It might work. Probably not, but worth a try.

Failing that, take a pint with you... 😉😆😂

[chicken_nugget24]

I'm not sure we have that in the UK

[SnowedIn]

Right, I suspect as much. Worth looking.

[chicken_nugget24]

It is but only available over prescription unfortunately. Would plastic wrap work?

[SnowedIn]

Yeah! That would work

Tysm

Try Epsom salts and soak in them.

[chicken_nugget24]

Won't that sting more?

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

@chicken_nugget24 Nope it shouldn't that should make the skin calm and not burn or hurt.

[chicken_nugget24]

Okay I'll try it

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

@chicken_nugget24 Best wishes :)

[chicken_nugget24]

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Have you tried in New Skin liquid bandage? You paint it on. I use it when I get paper cuts on the hand.

I have a cut on my right arm from my dog. I just endure it for a bit. Stinging doesn't last long.

[chicken_nugget24]

My whole legs are coverd in them 😕

[RoseySarah]

Plastic bags?

That is what we did with my scar

[chicken_nugget24]

I need to find a large enough bag. Would cling film wrap work?

[RoseySarah]

It would work great!
Sorry about your depression!

Last year I had such a hard time with cutting

[chicken_nugget24]

Okay thanks and I'm so sorry. Are you clean now?

[RoseySarah]

Yes it is hard and I wanna do more but I stop myself! Baths help lot my favorite are barhbombs with prizes

But last week I relapsed twice.

[chicken_nugget24]

Bath bombs with prizes? And dm mem would ne easier

[Agape93]

Embrace that pain. It's proof you're alive, that you've survived things in life. It won't hurt less but it will bring meaning to the pain.

Wash your legs before you get in the bath , then once your in the bath keep your legs under the water , that way they will only sting the once :(
