I use an ointment similar to what others have said on the list called Calmoseptine ointment, which is for protecting the skin from moisture, urine, feces, yeast, etc.. A nurse recommended it after I got MRSA in the groin area a couple of years ago and also when I had a very tiny tear in the crack area from pulling a wet bathing suit off. I use it every day in between my thighs because I get chronic yeast infections and also just to keep away the moisture from sitting for 8 hours or so. I also put it on the back of my crack area & on my butt hole after a digital which helps the external polyp back there. So it works great and I highly recommend it. Anytime I get any redness really anywhere on my body I put the ointment on it and it's gone by the next day or so. You can get it online for 8.95 at Allegro Medical for a 4 ounce tube that lasts a couple of months since you don't need very much.

Hi, Anyone experience this skin irritation or rash from being in the chair too long? How do you combat it? I'm usually in the chair 12 hours or so. Want to stay in it,too. Thanks for your help!
