Can adults get 'nappy rash' ? (embarrassed)

[NappyRash]

Ive changed my name for obvious reasons

How to phrase this...

I think i may have a form of adult nappy rash - can adults get this?

Between the creases or my legs and other bits (very low down but above the perinuim) is red and sore.

This is so embarassing even to type..

Things have seemed a little more 'damp' lately - not wee though.

It hurts! How can i make it go away?

Btw - the first person to call me a troll is a hairy arsed truck driver!

lol bauble!

No, no, just I had visions of you giving your fanny an airing...whilst remaining on Mumsnet.

just dry it blotting with tissue, or use hair dryere on cold setting.
when people get very fat they get this coz of ddampness staying in folds of skin. some people dry it and then put talcum powder oon it, but mom says the talcum just turns iinto talc mud!

Running off to eat my dinner... we are having cheese!

(and pasta)

Thanks xxx

The cheese industry is apparently in decline in the UK.

I reckon we could both provide new premises?

I admit I am overweight (but have been more overweight without the problem and have lost 3 stone). I have been suffering with this on and off for a couple of years, ever since I went to something called Toning Tables to lose weight, in Romsey. I drove there (about 20 miles) several times a week, and it became very hot that year. I have tried everything. Following a leg injury I have to sit down quite a lot and my bum is really sore especially round the area of knicker legs. I was initially prescribed anti-fungal tablets which did not help at all. I have used all kinds of things and paid for expensive Chaffree knickers (70.00 a pair). As someone suggested above, I feel what I really need to do is lie on my back with my legs in the air in the sun, however would probably get arrested. It makes me miserable!

I’ve had this for years tried everything but due to incontinence not bad but enough to be a pain so have had to pads permanently have now gone to reusable and already noticed less itching so finally may start to heal.

Yes. I had it for years. Cleared it up in a couple of weeks with daily applications of Sudocrem. Hasn't recurred since.
