I don't know if I am saying the correct word or spelling it right. But I think if there is anyone who has had this problem knows what I am trying to ask. I have used several different powders, and all it does is when I sweat the power just gets moist and gets clumpy. Any suggestions?

Every now and again I have the same problem, I usually go with some Jergens Aloe lotion, it helps to relieve the rawness and helps prevent it as well.

Although not certain which area of the body you're referring to, I'm guessing you could be a bit overweight and maybe it's the thighs that are rubbing together and causing irritation, or it could be your bra, either the underlining, or the straps that are digging into your flesh. The long-term solution would be to lose a little weight. However, if this is not your problem, please excuse me for being presumptuous. Have you tried an antiperspirant? These differ from deodorants by stopping perspiration rather than just eliminating odor. A light dusting of powder or cornstarch can further help keep the areas dry. If you don't use too much, you won't experience the clumping.
If the problem continues, I would suggest you see your doctor. He or she can prescribe something stronger that will stop the perspiration. You may have a condition called hyperbromodosis, which means excessive sweating. Another thing you might try is an ointment like Borofax or an anti-itch salve that contains an antibiotic, calamine lotion, or even plain vaseline. I hope some of these suggestions help. Good luck!

Good washing first...then a light ointment...something like A & D ointment or a medicated ointment like Cruex or Gold Bond. Then a light sprinkling of a medicated powder to keep you dry. Wear cotton drawers to absorb the sweat.

"Galding?" Is that the same as chaffing? If so, try Gold Bond, if you haven't already. Baby power and the like will only clump up like you're describing.

Gold Bond cream. My original answer was talc powder. Try baking soda?

Try rice flour or rice starch.
