Dear Eben: I am sure there are many with similar experiences, but who would know? You can do something about this to help manage such situations. My gratious, why do you not get what you need to protect your reticense, your clothes, your bedding AND if its important to you, to not hide it from your grandkids??? TO BEGIN WITH , you should see a Doctor. You did not say when this all began, but you must know if you merely have an infection, which can be treated, or if there is some other avenue to pursue....If you wish to do something in the way of protection, PLEASE READ Doug's post immediately above your post and the replies, namely my reply to Doug. You could surely help yourself to manage the circumstances and avoid embarressment going forward.....mr j
