Final cleanup - one week update

My latest project, to remove the last remnants of BXO skin, is progressing nicely. I've been using a combination of treatments, more as an experiment rather than because of what's best. I have been using talcum powder throughout, with the exception of the three times this week I have applied Creme Complete. Recall that last time I used that, it caused an itching reaction, and I could no longer tolerate it. I thought it was time I tried again. I'm pleased I did, as I now appear to tolerate it just fine.

As I've said a lot on here, my BXO developed around about the time I started dribbling after urination. When I pay very close attention to my flow these days, even though I use toilet paper as a rule after urination every time, I still find I sometimes dribble slightly after I'm done dabbing myself. Previously, I had been thinking that a couple of pats with toilet paper would be eno
