I know it is so embarrassing to have an accident anywhere, even if you don't know the people you are around. I have had in department stores and I have had to ask the salespeople to send for someone to clean up. I know it is especially embarrassing when you are in classes. It's especially frustrating when you have to wait for someone to come help you, causing skin redness and irritation. I usually try to use Desitin and I have a prescription for vasolex from the wound clinic. _http://www.healthcentral.com/skin-care/r/medications/vasolex-top-148200_ (http://www.healthcentral.com/skin-care/r/medications/vasolex-top-148200) Dana In a message dated 11/30/2012 2:44:27 P.M.
