[Ellie65]

Can anyone advise me on any creams/potions that I can use for under my belly its a bit sore have been using sudocream but was wondering if there is anything else.

I tend to use E45, hope you get something to relieve it soon as I know how much it can hurt xx

I Thought E45 was for dry skin???

Metanium!! Its like a yellow tar... I use it on my little ones when they had incredibly sore bottoms from acidic wee & now I use it... its bloomin' marvellous!!

I use cuticura talc and lanacane cream, both work really well

 

[Sambucca]

i got some daktokort (sp?) from the Gp for mine. It seems to have got much better and now on the odd occasion it does flare up just one application of that and its gone.

Bepanthem baby cream is great, was recommended it by my tatooist to heal new tatoos, and is great for any sore areas too.

The area can get nasty. This is for preventing problems once the area is better.
I think having a bath or shower twice a day, pat dry carefully, once dry put on a dusting of talc, such as Johnsons Baby powder with lavender and camomile. When alone and resting (if lucky) lie down whenever possible and let the air get to the area by holding the stomach away for some time - just so the area gets some air! I personally don't have that problem because I always use talc after two baths daily. The areas also get the same problem when post surgery there is an overhang of stomach - again the skin needs to be carefully looked after.

Just back from the shops and got some Lanacane and see how we go.

A powder is best to dry out the infection, creams just keep it moist. I use Canesten Powder, but its really hard to get hold of. Daktarin powder works just as well.

The sore is a form of fungus normally and Daktarin is for foot fungus, so it does the trick just as well.
