Hi All! I've had my MFP account since 2012 but only used it sporadically until January 2022 when I knew I needed to make a lifestyle change in order to improve my mental and physical health.

Though yours sounds more severe than mine, I have this problem in my abdominal apron area. If I don't monitor it carefully I end up with a painful rash, which a couple times has turned into small sores when I wasn't able to clear it up quickly. To try and prevent it I use Gold Bond medicated powder in that area after each…
