Post op skin issue!

Ok I know this is Tmi but I am suffering from under stomach rash or excoriated skin. New problem since the amount of weight I lost is making this a horrible summer.  Can anyone help with some advice or tricks. I tried baby powder made it worse. 

The rash is sometimes caused by a yeast infection in the skin.  Athlete's foot powder will help.

Make sure you go to a doctor and have it documented every time it occurs.  You might be able to get insurance to pay to have that extra skin removed!

Thank you I will definitely try that. 

While my mom was in the hospital they used this on her and it worked wonderfully!  I use A & D ointment when it gets really bad for me. 

Once it gets under control I used to use deodorant.  It helped tremendously.

Keeping it dry is the key.  before I had the large apron of skin removed, my PCP prescribed Nystatin powder and it worked VERY well. Creams, even medicated ones, often make it worse.

I second the recommendation to be sure your doctor takes good notes on the issue.  The other reason to try the Nystatin powder is that it shows an attempt to use prescription grade products (i.e., everything short of surgery) to address the issue).

I have been using deodorant for years, there and under my breasts and really find it helps. If your skin is raw though from the rash, I would wait until it feels better.

What kind of deodorant works?  Spray, solid stick?  I will have to try it.

I use a solid stick -Secret. I use it under my panni and under my breasts....

I recently had a doctor recommend Ban roll on.  It seems to do the trick for me.
