I don't have a big problem with them and maybe because I eat alot of garlic. The easiest and fastest way to get relief is to rub some wet soap on them. I learned this as a girl growing up where we'd have to suffer if it wasn't for homemade remedies. Then when I used to teach pre-school I used it on the kids since you can't apply meds that don't come from a doctor. The kids loved to do it. It doesn't matter if you use a wet bar of soap or just the pump kind. Good luck on this. I know that in our area it can get bad at times.
