Addressing the Itching

Beginning this journey is potentially on the horizon. The plan is to take around six months between sessions. From the research I’ve done one of my biggest concerns is the unbearable itch that I’ve been reading about, with some people reporting how shocked they are at how intense it can be. This is especially concerning because whilst sleeping I could easily scratch the area unintentionally. Surely many people have fallen foul to this.

Does anybody have any recommendations to hopefully completely negate this potential problem? I have read about taking an antihistamine and applying vitamin E oil. The after-care instructions I’ve been given does state that once healed apply bio oil twice a day every day until the next session. If I want to apply something like vitamin E oil, how would it work in conjunction with needing to use bio oil. Could the vitamin E oil be used twice a day instead of the bio oil perhaps or maybe they are both just as effective at combating this itch.

Grateful for any insight and recommendations for the itch and any other nuggets for the aftercare healing etc 👍

Bridges

I am trying to understand bridges.

From my research there are two types of bridges. Those that can be found in landscaping which are just for visuals (cars dont go over them) and those that are created by building a road over water which the game then transforms into a ‘functional’ bridge which cars can drive over.

Is this still the case in 2026 however? Firstly I cannot get the game to build a road over my body of water (to turn into a functional bridge) and I just saw cars go over a landscaped bridge that I built.

Has there been an update so that functional bridges built using the road tool is no more and now everything is done via landscaped bridges?

Deodorant Bodyspray - Stinging

I am a male over 40 and have used the same deodorant bodyspray for decades. I can’t use antiperspirant because I react badly with armpits going very red etc. So I only used antiperspirant very briefly around 15 years ago.

So I have been fine with my lynx bodyspray for many years. A couple of months ago I switched from lynx ice dive bodyspray to lynx dark temptation bodyspray and again no problems.

However when I applied it on Friday and Saturday (both one time) I immediately got quite bad stinging in my right arm pit. I have inspected the area and there is no redness or other damage. There is two very small nodules although I’d guess these formed due to the stinging rather than them forming just prior.

Any theories why this would be? I guess I will just not use any deodorant for a while before potentially returning to using it again or if anyone knows a good alternative bodyspray (not antiperspirant) I could use, perhaps ones designed for sensitive skin.
