Worked fast on hemorrhoids and irritated skin in that area
I had an embarrassing problem.  Some external hemorrhoids appeared and were sore and itching terribly.  Additionally, the skin in my intergluteal cleft (i.e. butt crack)  and on my perineum was sore and itchy and a couple of fine red lines appeared on the skin in those locations.  For the life of me,  I couldn't tell if the red lines were scratches or veins or a breakdown of the skin but they hurt and would not go away. For 3+ weeks, I tried all sorts of creams (neosporin, preparation H, a heavy duty medicated zinc oxide barrier cream) and I tried sitz baths (with epsom salts and glycerine).  Still, the problem would not go away.  Then, I read advice online where several people suggested keeping the area dry with powder, instead of using creams or ointments..  I didn't feel the area was particularly moist, but I figured it couldn't hurt to try.  So I tried this medicated Caldesene powder.  Within hours, the itch and sting were completely gone.  I applied the powder 2 or 3 times a day and by the third day when I took a look at the area again with a mirror, the external hemorrhoids had gone completely down and the red irritated lines were gone.  Pretty amazing.
