Just a quick note in case anyone else has these things. I have looked
for something good to use for this and found nothing really works. But,
I just tried some Debacterol, which tastes and smells awful and burns
for a few seconds, but I am a believer. The pain disappeared for good
in seconds and salty stuff doesn't bother it at all. It seals itself
off somehow. I got mine by asking a pharmacist because they keep it
behind the counter. Apparently you can also get it through a dentist
but it costs more. You apply it yourself because it comes in a little
qtip kind of container. It's easy! Anyway, I think the company that
makes it is called EPIEN or something like that in Minnesota. I suppose
if your pharmacy didn't have it you could look them up on the web or
something.
Anyway, it's really slick.
