Your DH sounds pretty awesome! Glad it's just roids not anything more sinister. But I feel your pain!!!! I used to bring the roid cream out and try to get DS1(when he was about 15yrs old) to put it on for me (JOKING OF COURSE!) but just stirring him and letting him know he was the one that did it to me he did see the funny side BTW.
Hope you get some relief soon
