RE: [QUAD-L] **Warning - Slightly Graphic** - Rash Cures

[Lori Michaelson]

I was/am saying that I never had these issues until moving here.  I'm from the northeast.  Been here in the desert 5 yrs.  One could argue it's the heat here but I don't think so.  It FELT hotter summers in NY where the humidity weighs on one heavily.   And staying in the AC most of the time eliminates that hotter-temp theory.  It's so DRY here and I NEVER feel over-heated.   It might be age, it might be more sensitive skin, etc   In any case scenario - it sux!    Most of CO is too chilly for me or I'd consider a move there too.   Lori Michaelson Age - 41 C4/5 complete quad, 26 years post Tucson, AZ     -------Original Message-------   From: Aaron Mann Date: 10/04/05 15:01:17 To: Lori Michaelson; Quad Subject: RE: [QUAD-L] **Warning - Slightly Graphic** - Rash Cures   Are you saying that you have not had these issues since moving to a dryer climate?  (I'm looking for another reason to move to CO) From: Lori Michaelson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 04, 2005 4:56 PM To: Quad Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] **Warning - Slightly Graphic** - Rash Cures  After 26 yrs of quadrom ... my last 2 sores were within 4 years AND both began by moisture 'down there' causing skin breakdown.  I've never had so much problems down there!   I'm now in a dry desert climate and have never had such crotch problems before.  So now hubby uses a variety of things to keep things under control.  From myconesal to Zeasorb to Lantiseptic (GOOD skin protectant) to baby powder with corn starch.   You guys can't do this but I've resorted to wearing a tampon daily for more dryness and it does help.   Lori Michaelson Age - 41 C4/5 complete quad, 26 years post Tucson, AZ     -------Original Message-------   From: Eric Olson Date: 10/04/05 14:08:52 To: Aaron Mann Cc: quad-list@eskimo.com Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] **Warning - Slightly Graphic** - Rash Cures   I too use Zeosorb af.  First, you might want to see a dermatologist to determine what it is.  If it's fungal, the dermatologist can give you something that will clear it up faster than over the counter.  Then start using the zeosorb every day for prevention.  Aaron Mann wrote: For you guys, and maybe gals too, what do you do for a sweaty crotch?  This is the first year I've had this issue of constant redness and rashes.   I've been washing and applying several different things; Desatin, baby powder, neosporin, etc.  But it won't go away.  I'm sweating so much from that area that my pants are actually damp by nighttime.  It is so sensitive to touch that I spasm violently and sweat from my head and shoulders during cleaning and applying medicine.
