If you can swing it, I recommend castille soap in liquid form. Otherwise wash your hands and the bar, rinse, then suds the bar with your hands and let the suds wash over the wound. If you can stand it, a light rub with your hands. NGL, it’s not going to be a pleasure cruise. Maybe take some Tylenol about a half hour before, barring contraindications, unless they gave you an opiate, then take it first, instead.

You are welcome! Ow. Did they give you something special to use, hopefully liquid?

Oh wow, it’s been a tough cycle for you! I am so sorry, I hope things improve quickly and that you heal well.

Then say so.

If you have to ask, that’s your answer. People prioritize and make time for whatever is important to them. It sounds like you were something to do if there was nothing better to do.

Maybe the less well off have more experience with managing health conditions on their own.

Or maybe this post is trolling. Not saying it is or isn’t. But it’s definitely raised my eyebrow.

The same words carry vastly different meanings because of people’s primary and secondary socialization experiences, followed by lived experience thereafter. Snoogums addressed it well.

Unfortunately, chemical imitation is horribly bad for us and people do have allergies to natural fragrance. A quick search suggests roses are “virtually allergen free.”

To OP’s question in general: being always assaulted by artificial stimuli isn’t healthy for anyone, but schismed, fragmented, jumpy, tired people are compliant employees and impulsivity buyers, from changing hairstyles and color dramatically to the tabloids, king-sized candy bars and tobacco products at checkout.
