Do your outbreaks follow the seasons?
Mine cluster in high summer (sun) and deep winter (cold and dry). Tracking a full year made the pattern obvious and I could get ahead of the risky weeks. If you log yours, do you see a seasonal shape, or are your triggers more about stress and sleep?
I get maybe two a year now, down from about six. Prevention genuinely works.
This group is honestly really helpful. Thank you for making a space for it.
The confidence side hits hard. Had one right before a big event once.
Started keeping a balm in every jacket pocket and my bag. Total game changer.
