You know that rash you get down by your balls when you get sweaty? It happens to me when I'm out in the cornfield and it kills. What can I do to get rid of this. Burn Jel used to work but it doesn't anymore. Would rubbing alcohol work? If not, what would? Thanks.

This is from sweat. The area is meant to be kept dry.There is normal yeast and bacteria there that is normally not harmful, but having the area moist all the time causes the yeast to multiply and causes your rash. The solution is to use Lamisil powder. It is the best anti-yeast medication on the market for external use and you can get it in any drug store. Sometimes, in addition to this, wearing boxer shorts instead of briefs helps as they let more air into the area. Wearing slacks that are loose in the groin also helps.
Do not use rubbing alcohol on the area! The skin is already damaged (damaged is too strong a word but I can't think of a better one at the moment). The alcohol will make the condition worse and it will cause you a LOT of pain.
God bless you.

Add regular table salt to bath water, you do not have to use alot just sprinkle it in and soak, you can make the solution strong if you can...I use it full strength and scrub it into poison ivy etc. But it will burn and isn't necessary. Just pour salt in and soak...where there is salt bacteria cannot exist. Then allow it to air dry and apply Argo cornstarch like powder..in the grocery store near sugar etc. Don't try other brands theyr'e not the same. Do not use powders they contain perfume. My husband works in the log woods. Argo cornstarch is all you need to keep you dry and comfortable. You will be happy to have learned this one. The only way for anyone...Babies too.
