Hey Robert, I just asked my Doc about this last week. She said after showering and drying throughly to use desenex (sp?) or tinactin antifungal spray. This will keep the bacteria at bay that causes the rash and bumps. Hope this helps. John A 397/247/200

Hey man...I bet you got a fan, to help air dry...lotrisome cream from the doc works pretty good....and mometasone cream also....they are generic....if you have insurance, tell the doc to write it out for 90 gms each...that gives you 2-3 tubes/bottles....good luck i'm packing mine in my bag as wee speak, I'm having ps this morning...but things linger... I know you are in hell russ

Ditto to what Paul said! The rashes are how I got my skin removal covered 100%! Get a referral to a dermatoligist and make sure the PCP documents the reashes as well. Good Luck.

As far as immediate treatment, Cruex does it for me to kill it, and Desenex to keep it away. By all means, see a doc, whether PCP, surgeon, or dermatologist to document them for reasons already mentioned.
