A diaper rash cream is good, like desitin is used for babies sensitive bums, I use it when the nitro was giving me side effects to protect the outside and when I get rashes in the area from too much exercises specially aerobics.

I am reticent to put any moisture on it. It started to hurt when I did that before, though I probably applied it 3 times a day for a couple of days- TOO much. It probably wouldn't hurt to apply it once a day to keep the itching to a minimum. I kind of like the itching because it indicates healing which makes me feel better mentally even though I'm quite wiggly physically!

Jessjess, if the itching becomes too bothersome, you can ask your doctor to give you something to sooth the area.
But you are doing ok so as long as the itching is bearable you don't have to worry. Itching is part of healing.
I am happy you are doing well. :D
