Re: Alternative to Gold Bond?

[Guest guest]

How about Z-ABSORB or Z-ABSORB AF? That's what I use, but then my

sense of smell is kaput from my allergies, here in Sacramento. It

does help reduce the rashing.

I LOVE the scent of Old Spice. My dad used to use it. I wish I could

get my hubby to use it, but he likes musk scents.

I gotta disagree with this. The problem is that if there is yeast in the

area, it LOVES cornstarch. If there is even the slightest suspicion that

there is yeast involved, get some of the antiFUNGAL treatment. There are

powders or ointments available, usually marketed for either athlete's

foot or genital yeast. Yes, I mean the Monistat, Lotrimin, stuff like

that. Also make sure to thoroughly dry the area frequently, even aiming

a blowdryer at it to help. Yeastie beasties LOVE moisture!
