Not sure what I have done but trying to smooth this and all of a sudden it is making it worse. I have even tried going to 3px on dyntopo. What have I missed or done?

    Check your Dyntopo settings , try subdivide edges. you may need to add some geometry first, try adding geo with clay strips along the edge lightly , then smooth it out, you have a razor thin edge at the moment.

    Ok thanks will try that out now

    Looks to me like you have one or more axis locked in sculpt mode. They're easy to forget to turn off:


    Also if you're trying to smooth out a rough area, increasing detail size is the better option. Decreasing detail size will add more geometry and preserve + reinforce the rough spots. The opposite will simplify and smooth out rough areas.

    Yes I forgot to unlock the x axis.  Ok I didn't totally understand what you meant about the details so I tried it out and yes it makes perfect sense now.  Thank you for your help I now understand this much better
