Q&A: What treatment can I use for a chapped buttocks?

TREATMENT FOR CHAFFED SKIN ON BUTT



Topical corticosteroid creams can help soothe chafed skin, as can several home remedies, like:


      1.  aloe vera
      2. coconut oil
      3. shea butter
      4. cornstarch
      5. zinc oxide
      6. and petroleum jelly

Can you heal chafing overnight?

There are many simple and soothing ointment options, such as Vaseline or A&D.

Even baby's diaper rash creams have worked well for some. Using it before bedtime will help it work overnight. 

Avoid touching or rubbing the skin in that area.




If your chafed skin doesn't improve with home remedies or over-the-counter creams, be sure to follow up with your doctor.
