Balmex Adult Care Rash Cream 12 oz

Excellent product. Easy to apply. Works well.

Amazing product. Brought for my father and it works wonder. Anyone who is looking for a cream to get rid off any kind of irritation caused by adult diaper, this is it.

I wouldn’t change a thing about this. It’s hard to wash off the hands, sure, but I found that the Zep workshop hand wash takes it off easily or using a towel. As to its effectiveness, it can’t be beat. It eliminated a stubborn rash I had ENTIRELY, kept the area protected from irritation, and felt totally fine on the skin (no noticing of stickiness or other unpleasantness, personally).

This stuff is amazing. My mother has not had a pressure sore since we started with this and it quickly healed the one she already had within a day

I was recently released from the hospital and after several days in a hospital bed was having some issues with rashes in the groin areas. Because I have a history of pressure sores, I began looking for something I could use that would take care of it. After reading some articles, I settled on Balmex Adult Care Rash Cream. This arrives in a 12-ounce tub. It's a thick, paste-like cream with a key ingredient of zinc oxide at 11.3%. Zinc Oxide is generally regarded as quite effective in dealing with diaper rash or rashes caused by bladder leakage or other soiling. This cream is noted as providing protection, soothing, and healing. It has a very slight scent that I can't really describe, though I don't mind it and it doesn't impact effectiveness as near as I can tell. Balmex also uses botanicals to help neutralize skin irritation, though I'll admit this is where it falls a bit short for me. I've found Balmex extremely effective at protecting and soothing; less effective at actually healing and working with irritated skin. It's still effective, but the healing aspect just seems a notch below to me. Labeling is a little confusing. It says it can be used daily, however, the directions also state to stop use and see a doctor if symptoms persist more than seven days. As a protectant, I can sure see this used every day for adults who are particularly vulnerable to rashes. I really like Balmex, though it didn't quite resolve all my issues. I would definitely use it again. In fact, I will use it again. It's just not quite the cure-all I was hoping for when I purchased it. That said, it's a definite solid performer and particularly good for adults. Very few of these types of creams are specifically made for adults and this is one of the better ones I've used.
