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.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
