i will have to look into the cream. thanks for the info
It's called "Barriere" that's the name of the lotion and it's 20% silicone cream is what it says on the bottle. The pharmacist suggested I try using that around the area to keep the skin dry as it's used for babies to prevent diaper rash. It smells great like baby powder sorta and it does leave my skin feeling soft and like there's a layer of protection from sweat and whatever other things cause irritation like bacteria etc. I haven't put it on the affected area as right now that's healing and I don't want to mess with introducing anything onto the area other than polysporin and Vaseline but the surrounding area I've put it on and it does feel soothing and so far seems to be doing a good job.
What is a barrier cream??
