After wiping gently,: Front to back once with each unscented moist towelette, use zinc oxide paste, like skiers use on their noses. It's ok on mucus membranes & skin. You can get it without a prescription & it protects the raw areas. Use non-latex disposable gloves so the natural bacteria on your hands don't touch the raw areas & squeeze out some paste onto a sterile gauze square, so you don't contaminate the tube.
