Marsha's message re: her dematitis reminded me of the "skin rot" I used to
have....caused from waitress work, not clay work. I was using a
cortisone-type ointment which cleared it up but I was warned (not by my
physician) such an ointment can cause your skin to lose it's ability to
heal itself....so beware of prolonged use of cortisone-type creams and use
them sparingly when you use them.
