A member asked:
Could i put desitin (zinc oxide diaper cream) on my pubic/butt area to get rid of bumps?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, you can: but you may not see the results you are looking for. Desitin (zinc oxide diaper cream) and similar rash creams are intended to act as barriers to protect skin from irritation from stool and urine, and to protect eroded skin while it is healing.
