A member asked:
I have a rash between my butt cheeks/near anal area. would desitin (zinc oxide diaper cream) work? is it even possible for adults to get rashes like diaper rashes anymore?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Desitin (zinc oxide diaper cream) is ok.: If it's due to irritation, then Desitin (zinc oxide diaper cream) or even just plain vaseline should resolve your problem in a 2-3 days. If it's due to an infection, it will not improve, the pain will worsen, and you will need to see a doctor.
