Possible Riba Rash Prevention Answer???
I found information on this forum 9+ months ago that a filter for clorine elimination/reduction on your showerhead may help prevent the skin dryness that in turn may cause or irritate riba rash. I have used this filter on my shower and never got the rash. I have extremely sensitive skin and used Lubriderm twice a day and the clorine filter and went the entire winter/spring/summer treating for Hep C.
Hope this information helps someone.

But in contrary to many others, having a hot shower was very soothing for my skin.
I also use a shower filter. Unfortunately I did have a few riba rash patches. They only subsided around 2 - 3 months after treatment
