Could a diaper rash cream actually GIVE me diaper rash symptoms?

I was golfing this summer and started to get chafed between the cheeks. Thought i was being smart and bought a diaper rash cream( zinc oxide ointment) and applied before my rounds. It seemed to work but about a week ago i got a terrible itch and checked it out. after numerous showers there was still white remnants from the cream and between my cheeks was really red and horribly irritated and itchy. I'm not about to start scratching my butt. and it's too irritated and painful to try and seriously scrub with a wash cloth. I've bought some baby powder and it's helped a little. HELP ME!!!Could a diaper rash cream actually GIVE me diaper rash symptoms?
It is quite possible you have had an allergic reaction.





Some ointments and creams have inactive ingredients and it is possible you could be allergic to one of these ingredients.


However, I would check it out with a physician.





Use a hydrocortisone 1% cream or ointment in the meantime.


It may help with the inflammation and itching!
