Excess skin and infections.

As I lose more weight, I have more hanging skin and I have experienced my first true infection in the fold (apron). I never realized how miserable this can make one feel. I have had it for over a week and my pcp has given me two prescription creams. I have tried everything! Lotrimin, Lomisil, Monistat, gold bond, even alcohol. Nothing has given me any relief so I looked in the library and found an old posting that said to keep it dry and use Milk Of Magnesia. So I tried and low and behold, it works! Finally some relief. I just wanted to post this again so that it could help someone else. Also is there anything else you guys can post that may be helpful. If this clears up I never want to get another! I have had it documented with my pcp for future use in case I get a tummy tuck or panniculectomy.
