im wheelcharbound and im 40 years old and i was wondering can i use absorebine jr for chafing area where i sit

Answer 1

The best solution is to find this stuff called lycopodium (a very fine natural yellow powder - its spores actually.)

I don't know where to tell you to find it since I have a big box that will outlast my lifetime which came from a pharmacy at least 50 years ago, but I have read about it on-line, so it does exist.

What you do is you wash the affected area and coat it thinly with Vaseline, then sprinkle a little of this very fine powder on it. The powder absorbs moisture and the redness and irritation disappear within hours as if by magic. (It takes away the heat and moisture which is the source of the irritation. It's great for underarms, under a breast, the fold of skin at the thigh, etc... etc.... )

Answer 2

I wouldn't do that. It has menthol in it and might be uncomfortable. For chafing use a lotion or even vaseline.
That is better than something with the menthol.

If you have sore muscles or painful joints you would use it on that.

Answer 3

Ask your pharmacist for calmoseptine. It is a thick barrier cream made just for this purpose. If you get an open area, see your doctor immediately for wound treatment. Because of your compromised circulation and sitting for long periods of time, you must be extra careful about maintaining the integrity of your skin.

Answer 4

This is for muscle aches, and it may sting chafed skin. Get some Gold Bond Lotion.

Answer 5

Kate is right. My brother was in your situation. The barrier cream helps a lot.

Answer 6

i use it for aching legs, & my feet
