Thread: Sweat Rash - best cream to get rid of it

I have a raging sweat rash between my balls and thighs both sides. I used antiseptic cream and talcum powder but it refuses to 'clear up' and comes back if I forget talc for just one day. Any suggestions?

Canesten! Dont leave home without it.
Canesten - General body fungus

As above also wear boxers and light cotton trousers rather than jeans.

if you are over weight a reduction diet and exersise will help

Can you get a cream for that?

You bet. Use antiseptic or antibiotic cream til the cows come home and the rash will still be there. The rash likely a fungus so you need an anti fungal cream. And lay off the talc.

Used Canestan when i had a similar problem a while back. Best stuff I've ever found though is "Quadriderm" cream. Cleared up jock-rot in just a couple of days and never came back..

True, was commando my whole time in the tropics.

Fungicil T. And always a dab on the tip of Mr. Happy to keep the nasties away.

Never leave home without a jar!

The label says it's good for Napkin Rash, Eczema and Bed Sores - fails to mention JOCK ROT!

But it works fine to kill off the infection (bugs & fungi) and soothes the sore spots too.

Tie a bag of frozen peas to your bollocks. They will shrink and it will stop them from chafing and making the rash worse.

The only real preventitive solution is high standards of personal hygene and loose clothing. (If you are obese, even this won't work and you need to lose weight).

This thread is useless without pics!

I think being a fat git with fat legs was the main factor.

Sick, you a spunkmuncher or what ?

Betnovate-n creme works too. I had an underarm heat rash which this cleared right up.

prickly heat usually works well - normlly get bit on my arm time to time. Goes away very quickly with prickly heat.

Some good things here and some bad.
Only thing that really worked for me was leaving my skivies on the whorehouse floor in Qui Nhon in DEC. 67 and never putting on any again until I got to the cool countrys, ain't had any on this trip either and it is on 10 years.

Coarse if you are a fat ass, then be best if ya cut your nut sack off and would stop the irritation and then it would heal.

shave your scrotum and then smear it with vaseline or olive oil.

Have they moved this thread to the "kitchen forum" ?

not yet as he left off the Thyme and oregano.

Had the same problem a couple of months back. Went through several tubes of Canestan and Fungacil which kept it in check but wouldn't shift it. I got so used to having prickly heat powder burning my balls and crutch that life seems very quiet without it.

In the end I got desperate and told my local chemist all about my ' problem '. He recommended PHOEBUS CREAM ( in a white and green tube ) He said it was a sure thing so I tried it. 2 days later .... miracle cure and it never came back.
The chemist reckoned the other creams are o.k. but if they fail this should work because it is a multi pronged attack :

Anti Fungal
Anti Bacterial
Anti inflammatory

Best stuff I've ever used.

chilli powder

Daktacort. it will work.

I also get a rash under my arm pits and there's one on the collar line of my neck. I will write down the suggestions and visit my pharmacy later today. Cheers for the feedback
