surgery is the best.  If you insurance covers any reconstructiv surgeries - you may qualify. 

If surgary is not an option - many times infections like that are caused by yeast - so keeping that area dry, using anti yeast powder (OTC or Rx) and Anti-yeast cream (OTC or RX) helps.  Also treating yeast from inside - again OTC or Rx,

Great work!!! Doesn't it make you feel good?

Can't help with the tummy button issue, though, sorry.

We were afraid that would happen to us. I still have excess sin, insurance wil not pay to fix. I use secret deodrant. I apply it to under the excess skin and groin area. I have not had

any trouble yet and I am almost 4 years post op.
