Itchy butt

[nogutsnoglory]

I guess it's the weather but my butt has been itching so much. I use calms calmoseptine, butt paste but they don't help.

The only thing that helps a bit is Aquaphor which is basically potent Vaseline for diaper rash.

When I gently use a wet wipe to the area I generally get red blood spots on the tissue. I know scratching will make things worse so any tips are welcome.

They make a Desitin adult cream that sometimes helps my husband

good luck -- really uncomfortable!

Thanks. I tried the baby Desitin stuff but I'll need to try the adult version.

I use Triple Paste - medicated ointment (for diaper rash but fragrance free & hypoallergenic), they also have an Adult Version - Triple Paste Adult Medicated Ointment - made by www.sumlab.com - I buy it at Walgreens or CVS. It has been a life saver for those terrible times. You can order online or buy at the store.

Good luck!!

When my butt itches, or i get a rash, i use wet wipes only. Also i use bonds powder at night before bed

Aloe Vera gel may provide some relief. Hope you find something that helps soon nogutsnoglory.

I'd be scared to put aloe there. It's potent and I don't want it to damage the lining but thank you.

I've used it :eek2: It doesn't seem to have done any harm (it was quite cooling) so maybe the one I used wasn't very strong. Thanks for the heads up though, I may look for something else to try in future!

When the weather gets hot and humid, this can be an issue for me as well. I try to make sure I do frequent underwear changes, and I have used proctofoam as well (sometimes a little hydrocortisone cream). Best thing seems to be trying to keep dry.

I use Aveeno baby with zinc and Tucks pads to wipe. The Aveeno cream goes on in a thick layer so a pantiliner is advised!
