It might be yeast - try monastat or athlete's foot cream/spray or jock itch (it's all fungal infections)

That is good advice.

I also use a good barrier cream and that helps a lot with chafing.

I'm going to second that it's more than likely yeast, check out some of the jock itch creams / antifungals, and please make sure you see your PCP and have them document that, it can help you in the future to support a request for Excess skin removal, lots of insurances require documented rash/skin issues before they approve skin removal.

@Biddy zz your signature block has an error. The procedure where one WLS is changed to another is called "Revision" not "Decision" So your signature should say "revision to RNY 2017" Also, RNY means Bypass, so saying "Bypass Bypass" is redundant. Just a friendly heads up.

I am a huge fan of this stuff.... My mom works in the healthcare industry and her patients use this for bed sores, chaffing, etc.

In the summer I've been known to get heat rashes and this clears it up before the day is out... I swear by the Coloplast cream products. It's like the movie "my big fat greek wedding" and the father says that he uses "windex" on everything... that's how I am with this cream. If a rash breaks out... I go to it. it's been my savior for years.

I will forewarn you, if your skin is broken - it may sting at first, but it quickly goes away.

Thanks but my signature wasn’t a mistake calling a revision a decision. I wasn’t referring to ‘revision to bypass’. I was saying ‘I made a decision to bypass’. I have tidied to clarify.

As for RNY means bypass - well, I am ok with it. If you look around this site, even the ‘official’ descriptors of the various forum boards regularly say RNY bapass’ - I reckon you’re on a losing campaign fighting that one!

And there are mini,sips, Omega loops which is same thing as Sips? So RnY is the famous brother but he does have relatives including D S.

Also having a rash/irritated skin. I think it's from the tape used over my incisions.
