Dh had a 12 mile ruck march today, and came home with horrible chaffing on the inside of his thighs. The pharmacist told me to put diaper rash stuff on it.. Is that really a good idea?

We use Calmoseptine for everything at our house... worked great on diaper rashes, works on mosquito bites, raw skin (like under toddlers noses when they have a cold), etc. I'm betting that it would work for chaffing as well. They have it at Walgreens.com, but you might want to call a local store to see if they have it.

Well I use curel to heal the chaf- but corn flour to prevent it. And to put on it so it won't hurt, while I have it. It just stops the legs from rubbing against each other. Works too!

LOL!!! I dunno about diaper rash cream. But for that chaffing, I'd use Neosporene!

Yeah I would try it. Dh gets chaffing, but he hasn't used diaper rash cream he usually toughs it out, but I think that it would be a good idea. Also he could put some baby powder on it so that it doesn't rub, but glides.

I got some of the gold bond powder for him too.. lol.. its so bad he cant even move, or walk that well, and when he walks his legs are so far apart..

Powder works.

Btw- I think corn flour is corn starch in the states :screwy

yeah, i dont know lol.... i rolled him over in bed and rubbed it all on him, he was like WTF IT BURNS.. hahaha

I got that really bad one summer from wet board shorts rubbing. they told me to use A&D ointment (which I guess can be used for diaper rash) it worked well, but I recommend the cream, not the ointment because the ointment prevented it from breathing which made it hurt longer and heal slower.

James uses Vasoline.

My dad said diaper rash cream or Lamisil? DF got a bad heat rash his first week in the sandbox and my dad said to send him that. If it is safe to use on babies, it is probably okay for DF. :giggle

Awwwwwww! :sadeyes

DJ got that after his 8 mile hump. His flight surgeon gave him .......... Happy Heiny.

STILL FUNNY after all these years! :lmao :loser :giggle

It worked on my pregnant bloated thighs that were rubbing together, I figured if it's safe for a baby it's safe for everyone.

I've used Desitin (sp?) for chaffing before and it was like a miracle... worked really quickly and no sting.
