@asolidrock the thing with the zinc ointment is if you put it on pretty thick, when you wipe, you just wipe off the surface layer of the ointment. You don't even touch your skin, really.

I used Desitin, maximum strength back when I needed it.

Downside is it is oily, gets on everything and you tend to smell like a baby's bottom.

Good luck! I hope it continues to get better.
