Intertrigo - so painful. Help?
I've had this off and on for many years. I have one right now under my breasts and stomach. The only thing that ever helped me is medicated powder. And not Gold Bond. The cheap knockoff medicated powder that you can buy at the Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, or Dollar General. They all sell their own cheap brand. Gold Bond did nothing for me. Also don't get any that says "extra strength" because it will feel like it is on fire. Just get a powder puff, put as much as you can on all the rashy areas. It will be gone in two days, sometimes overnight. Putting a rag underneath is just going to irritate it. Creams are just going to keep it moist. The powder will dry it up. Mine gets really bad, and seeps, with a terrible smell. If happens every few months, and I keep the powder on hand. For the powder puff, I bought a cheap fragrance powder that came with a puff from Walmart.
