OUCH my belly button!

I'm not sure if you build up a resistance to that sort of cream, the same way you would to an oral antibiotic. You might want to ask your doctor (or pharmacist) about it. I like the documentation you're getting from the doctor, tho.  Keep asking for the prescriptions (even if you don't use the cream or get the refill from the pharmacy)

I would advise using a powder like monkey butt, or "*****ly heat" powder (which i've only been able to find on ebay, its from somewhere in the orient) for prevention. I use alcohol in my belly button every time after a shower, and even under the breasts and in the stomach folds, to make sure they're really dry, if it's going to be a real sweaty day.

I hate getting those rashes. It's so freaking embarrassing. I can't wait for the day that i dont have to worry about that any longer. Sadly, i guess that will happen after i lose this lovely belly and get plastics afterwards.

Will do and I agree completely.. they totally suck!   I used to use gold bond medicated.  I found the Monkey Butt didn't get me through the entire day, but usually Gold Bond did.   I will definitely ask my doctor about this next time I see her.

Thanks for the advice.

I've never tried Gold Bond, i'll have to check that out. You're welcome. I should put a disclaimer on my advice, that you should always follow the advice of your own health care professional. lol

actually yes, I just got over one of those, thought maybe i had scratched it with my nail when i was cleaning it or something.

I used polysporin for a few days it cleared right up.

I never thought of documenting any of this for future plastics approval.  I'll have to start doing that.

I get skin fold infections all the time - either my belly button, panni area, under my breast, and my side rolls.  I normally use a zinc cream once they've occured but try my hardest to keep those areas dry to prevent the red/rawness in the first place.
