there are many good barrier and cremes some kinds work better than others for different people--my doctor really likes ( BOUDREAUX'S BUTT PASTE ) it really worked great for us......can buy it at many stores such as Target. Dan H.

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.
