• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I've had this rash in the intimate area for a couple of years. I'm pretty sure it's not an STD because I went to the doctor. I wish I would get healed from it because at times it is killing me, yet God has not answered my desperate prayers for healing. WHY?!

is this rash in skin folds?

If so you can try the diaper rash ointment, Desitin™ it's zinc oxide and is very good.

After you shower make sure you dry very well, then have the rash exposed to a fan for a little bit to make sure things are good and dry, dab with a paper towel one last time to be certain then apply layer of the cream.

Give it a week or so to start really getting better doing this daily to a couple times a day.

It's generally a combination of too much moisture and warmth which causes rashes, sometimes also garments rubbing the area etc.

If Desitin doesn't help you'll need a prescription topical cream.

I get rashes underneath stuff up top in the summer time if I'm not really careful but the same thing happens to men in the groin area so I mention this possible solution.

If your underwear rubs you might also try a different style of underwear.

Also, if you don't feel like laying on the bed spread out in front of the fan while your intimate area dries well you can also use the hair dryer on a cool setting. I do this less because of the heat of the hair dryer, but it does also work for making sure the area is well dried
