So I’m a little out of my routine lately and it has led to a serious tactical error on my part. I forgot to lube up prior to a longish run last night. Now I’ve got full blown diaper rash from my ass cheeks rubbing together for 90 minutes.
So what are your product recommendations for after the pain comes down. Desitin? Boudreaux’s Butt Paste?
Speaking from lots of experience - desitin.
I second Desitin. It works wonders on tons of stuff. I had a EMT tell me that I could put it on open blisters. Worked great. Plus I smelled like a baby all day.
I actually laughed (more like snorted) loud enough for a co-worker to ask me what what so funny. I have to clean the monitor off!
Penaten (sp) works, or any other baby-diaper-rash cream.
If you like to go au-natural, get some oatmeal (no, not the peaches and cream flavour), the regular old plain stuff, and mash it into more fine pieces, then cook it. When it cools, smear it on and hop into some rubber pants. I’M SERIOUS!! The sh*t works on everything - sunburn, poison ivy, hives, diaper rash (unless you’re allergic to oatmeal).
Boudreaux’s Butt Paste works great. So does Aquaphor, which was also recommended by my dermatologist for some bad road rash. It did wonders on the road rash.
Ask your pharmacist for ‘Triple Paste’. It is a behind-the-counter diaper rash cream. Used it for my kids diaper rash and on my own. Works 100 times better than desitin or anything else I’ve tried.
never had chafing there, but for rashes I use solarcaine.
I use Boudreaux Butt Paste . . .works great. Should be fine in 12-24hrs. Aquaphor works well, but I prefer to use it pre-run (as lube), but will help heal afterwards as well.
LOL! What! Now, I’ve heard of the nipple rubs that some guys get on long runs, foot blister, but I’ve never had any of my running buddies complain of this! Holy Cow …
How weird/gross would that feel, running with Desitin between the crack for 20 miles - eew! (I like the smell though: reminds me of when my kids were small)
actually, I usually run with bodyglide in my crack. But since I forgot, looks like I’m gonna need the Desitin.
