Hi,

I am doing well but have one problem that I can't seem to manage. I am 4 months out and really close to goal. My seat or butt that I sit on, hurts. It is the skin kind of where my top of my thigh and my rear meet. At first I thought it was from very loose clothes rubbing when I walked, it is where my panty leg is but the area is about the size of my hand on each leg. It is where I sit on and the skin is very dry. I am putting lotion on it at least twice a day. I get up and walk regularly so that I am not sitting for prolonged periods of time. But the skin isn't getting better and it is sore to sit on. Yeah, it is a strange problem and embarrassing. I am thinking I never had this before and had a lot more weight and on the same area. So why does it hurt now?? I do have a lot of wrinkly skin at different areas, kind of the prune look. So any ideas would be welcome cause this is annoying me and I have run out of ideas.

Thank you for sharing. I had a similar thing happen to me in a fold of skin and it is very painful. I even tried the over the counter yeast creams and they didn't work. But the prescription cream took care of it really quickly. It's actually really common. Hope you feel better soon:)

My doctor said it was common. It does hurt but I am mad at myself for not going in to the doctor sooner. I kept thinking it was dry skin and putting more lotion on it. I guess that is why the forum is so important.
