Now Sue, this might be alright for the inner thigh area, but I would be a bit hesitiant to put it on your sixpence(Ethel. as you call it).
Tea bags are another thing that are very soothing for herpetic discomfort.....used ones, cooled in the fridge - then discarded after use.(they should be safe on your hairy mary too)
hahaha! Margaret you make me laugh! Thanks for that.
The tea bag thing actually worked somewhat (thanks again)...er... except I now look like I have a rusty 'sixpence' n I weren't expecting that for a few year yet... hhaha
