relief for skinfold rashes!



Recommended Posts

For those of us who have suffered from rashes, yeast, infections & other problems in our skinfolds, I have a product i would like to share with you. It is made by Burt's Bees. It's called "Baby Bee Skin Cream". It comes in a jar & it is the best thing I have ever found. I even had a patient in the nursing home I was working in who suffered with a raw bottom all the time & would cry. I asked around & she had been suffering with it for a couple of years. I told her about this product & she had her sister buy some for her & after 2 days her bottom was healed! It even works for "babboon butt" as my husband calls it! LOL!! Just thought I would share. I know this is a topic that is avoided at all costs, but there's no reason to suffer!! :biggrin1:

Oh I have used baby diaper rash ointment for heat rashes between my thighs from walking around for a long time. I am assuming this is similar to that? Balmex was always a staple for me when working as a bartender. Great for apron rashes as well. I will have to get some of the burts bees stuff and try it out. I just found a place that sells it.

It is a different consistency than diaper rash ointment. I don't know how to explain it. It is all natural & has beeswax & other goodies in it. My Grandpa is a beekeeper & says that honey has antibacterial properties in it. So i don't know if this has anything to do with it's effectiveness or not. But it is almost a miracle cure. At least for me it is! It will clear anything up in a day or two & almost immediately takes the sting & burning out! And it stays on until you shower. No need for reapplication! I highly recommend it. I have tried all the diaper rash stuff & for me this stuff is the ticket! LOL!! I am in no way affiliated with this company!! I just wanted to share! LOL!!!

oooo I like the no reapplication side of things... It is hard to carry around a tube of diaper rash ointment. People look at you funny when they see it LOL

I also use that new monistat chafing gel on my thigh area - it works really well because it goes on like a silky powder barier. I like it except it only comes in a small tube so if you use a lot it could get expensive I suppose.

I used to get rashes all the time in my skin folds and then I started using Dial Antibacterial Deodorizing body wash and I haven't had any trouble since. My doctor and I have even discussed me not using it when it's time to get some plastic surgery done so insurance will cover. Sad that it may take that but I'm willing!!!

Most of the skin rashes in the folds of the skin are caused by yeast infections. They can be made more comfortable by a lot of creams, but if you truly want a cure for it you need to use Lamisil. It will take care of the itching, redness, and permanently cure the problem. Just trying to be helpful. We have used it in hospitals for years.

Good to know information! I don't get the rashes often, but it sounds like I need to keep a tube of that stuff on hand for when I do get them (have one now even). I'm also interested to know that it helps with the eczema. My sister suffers horribly with that stuff.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
