I would just think an ointment would work better than a cream. The ointment is what blocks the diarrhea from getting to the skin to irritate it more. Cream is not 'waterproof' as such.
Also, I don't know what you're washing him with when he has these accidents, but I would use NO soap at all. I would also NOT use paper towels or tissue. I would use only warm wash cloths, preferably with some of the 'cream' stuff to use as the cleaner. OR, if you can find a baby wipe with NO soap, perfume, etc.... that's exceptionally soft. The more you use soap, wipe, etc... the worse it is going to get, but you can't NOT clean it because that irritates it too............ But, once you can get it stopped, that pain should heal up very quickly. That's the key. I would ask about the kaopectate. I've used it in the past. I know they've changed the formula and it's not used as much now, but I would
at least ask.
Just my experience from prep for a colonoscopy to find out why I was anemic. lol. If anyone ever has to go through this do NOT use Scott tissue. Go get some of the softest tissue you can find.
And by the way........... I'm anemic due to lack of iron.......... after all that!
