- Take a few days off. Keep the area clean and dry. - Try diaper rash ointment or maybe Aloe Vera and perhaps something like neosporin or OTC acne ointment. - Cover affected area(s) with bandaging… such as a hydrocolloid or semiocclusive hydrogel dressing. Personally, I'd use this over an anti-bacterial ointment. This especially if you aren't taking days off. The goal is to avoid infection and speed healing. You don't want boils forming.
