| Just thought I would post an update in case anyone comes across this thread and wants to know what happened. After questioning my niece, my sister was pretty confident that the pain was external and not internal. Some research on the internet confirmed what someone here said about no bleach (also no harsh detergents, stain-removing products, or fabric softeners, either in the washer or dryer). And, the thing that seems really to have helped, is applying extra-virgin olive oil twice a day. Absolutely no more episodes since starting these two things (the olive oil and the laundry), despite getting very hot and sweaty for sports practice nearly every day. |
