Sorry to be so blunt, I hate this subject; back when I was in the beginning of my diet and already down 20 pounds, I had a day of lots of manual labor, and clearly sweating.. When I looked in the mirror after a shower I saw that on my c section "roll" there was a rash, so beat red that I had to be on steroid cream and antibiotics! I have no feeling down there, so I felt no pain or itching.. After it healed, a few days later the rash started slowly coming back, and I finally found zeasorb powder which totally cured it! Dermatologist told me to use it daily as a prevention
... It's been 8 months, and I'm down another 40 pounds and I see my stomach roll is clearly less than it was but still there, and I'm so freaked to stop using it and get a rash that I haven't had in almost a year, but one of my biggest motivations is to lose enough weight to not worry about using powder EVER!
Should I give it a shot or lose more than the 40 pounds I've lost since my last rash?

    If there's no skin on skin touching then you should be fine. I use summers Eve powder because it smells good and is made out of corn starch and not talc. I get mine from my local Walmart.

    You shouldn't use corn starch if it's still yeasty... bad bad idea ^^

    I would just keep the area dry and check on it often.

    As long as one roll is over some skin use it. This is a common place to get infections like you had because it's a dark moist place in there! If you happen to get a sore that will set you back big time. Use it until your roll isn't touching the other part... if you get what I mean? Hard to describe. Great job on the weight loss though! :)

    I'd wait until summer is over with. My pooch is little now and I scratched the scar last night and made it bleed without realizing it since the scar doesn't have much feeling.
