Skin issues in the midst of our potty training journey.

Lately my 22-year-old daughter has been having some skin issues, red bumps around her thigh and in the area where the underwear elastic would go close to the thigh. I have always bought cotton underwear (the brief style).for her and never had she had this issue before. I have changed the detergent, handwashed her underwear with aloe soap bar, etc. The doctor has prescribed her with different antibiotics and they have not been 100% effective. A couple of days ago I looked into seamless cotton underwear for her and we started trying them to see if it helps. Have ypu had any other child or young girl that has experienced anything similar? I kindly ask for you advice.

Answer:

So as it gets warmer this is something that can happen. If she hasn't been seen by a dermatologist, that might be my next course of action. The seamless underwear sounds like a nice idea but you might want to consider if its a sweat moisture thing to add powder down there. If it feels more like a friction situation you could try a body glide cream or I've even used zinc oxide ointment when this happens to julianna from wearing wet bathing suits. Let me know if this is helpful and if you have any other questions.
