Under belly skin health

This area is prone to get rash’s, bacteria and fungal issues. This can weaken and discolour skin. What other than anti fungal, bacteria creams do you bigger members do to improve skin health in those areas. Do any use moisture pads or sponges to improve air flow ect…?

Some people are fine with regular showers, maybe using antimicrobial soap. I know people use talc-free body powder, chafing cream, or towels. Lotta options.

Under belly skin health

I'm extremely obese and bedridden. That belly area, along with the crotch, is very tricky. It's prone to injury or rashes, and I can't reach those areas of my body with my hands, and I don't have a visual inspection.
It's best to clean frequently and keep that fat fold dry and ventilated.
Cleaning, drying, applying talcum powder, and, if possible, lifting the fold and exposing it to a fan helps a lot to prevent fungus and rashes.
Moisturizers aren't much help.
Summer is when the skin in that area of ​​my body is regularly checked. It's difficult to keep it dry because it sweats a lot.

If you can afford it, AMD Gauze is antimicrobial, so it'll kill bacteria. Place it in skin folds/crotch area, areas where it's difficult to stay dry and clean. It's pricey but I try to get it when I can. It helps me a lot with skin folds and crotch area. I appreciate the added protection.
