A crack!...grrrrrr.....

[Lisa]

Not sure if it is due to the psoriasis, the Crohns' or a combination of both...had my wonderful hubby look for me tonight and he said def. there is a 'cut' or crack right in some scar tissue...right at the top of my 'crack'......UGH!.....:thumbdown:

Any suggestions for a good product to put on it to help protect it?...Right now I have some Desitin on it as it was handy.......

Does this spot always itch when you sweat a lot Paso? I use hydrocortisone 1% on the same spot all summer because it'll drive me nuts w/o it!!

Ohhh, sorry to hear about this, Pasobuff. No experience so I can't suggest anything (except maybe zinc oxide, i.e. diaper barrier?), but I hope that it heals up for you soon.

I get those in the same exact place as you sometimes. Although, I never use anything to treat it.

I've had some recent severe sensitivity in that spot, probably not as bad as yours, and I suffer from psoriasis on the feet. I've been using Aveeno baby lotion on the "crack" issue and it really seems to calm things down. I even did a Sitz bath with Aveeno baby soap and that was relief beyond anything I could have done. For psoriasis, I use Avon foot lotion products, rotated with other lotions, like the aveeno baby lotion. I always keep a mild, soap cloth handy just incase I apply something that has a reverse effect I can remove it quickly. Good luck and I hope you find something that works.

I don't know if this would help, but a lanolin based product like Lasinoh, might be worth a try. Lasinoh is what nursing mothers use when they have cracked nipples. It's really safe and doesn't burn or sting or anything.

Good luck. That cannot be comfortable! - Amy

Calmoseptine or Ungvita.

Hi Lisa

I've had them many times, and I don't put anything on it, best to let it dry out, putting anything on it just prolongs the 'wetness'
hope you feel better soon

[Lisa]

Hi Passo- just wanted to add that CETAPHIL is an excellent soap that does not make you scream when trying to wash up.
