Itchy Diapers

Since I've gone to 24/7 for incontinence problems I have developed an insane itch in my diaper region. The skin shows no rash or redness at all. Has anyone experienced this and how did you cure it? I've tried jock itch stuff and use moisturizing crème every change. So what's up?

You could very well have a yeast infection get some jockey spray or gyro lotrimin cream and apply it a few days if it feels better keep going till you run out and get back to homestatis , you could also see s doctor and have them culture it , to find the offending organism.

When I started wearing diapers 24/7 I was itchy also. Even though I was using diaper cream and moisturizing creams I found out that I was wearing soaked diapers to long. I started using better quality diapers and booster pads keeping my skin drier and more frequent diaper changes. I hope this helps.

I had similar experience when I started wearing 24/7. Found out sudocrem works wonders in battling the itching in my scrotum.

Thatnand wearing thicker more absorbant diapers helped

I have very sensitive skin--it takes very little to irritate it, doesn't matter if it's my scalp itching or my diaper area or what. I can't lay in the grass without breaking out, and something ALWAYS itches, it seems.

So naturally this starts happening when I wear my diapers a lot in a short period of time. What's funny is, while I'm still wearing them--as long as I don't get diaper rash--it doesn't usually bother me. I'll go get myself off in my soaked / loaded diapers then take a shower then dry out really well, and THAT'S when I start itching down there. And I even get little welts around my waist and legs from the elastic in the plastic pants. I think that the elastic gets wet with pee and then--since it's elastic--it's held closer to my skin than everything else and that causes me to break out sometimes.

So I usually will do this for a couple of days (e.g. like right now! I slept in them Thursday night, wore a disposable to work on Friday, wore them Friday night and Saturday morning, wore a disposable Saturday afternoon, and now I'm back in them again and they're full and wonderful) then dry out for a while. But after reading all the posts from others about various creams that they use, I do think I'm going to try some of these and see if they help.

I do not think it's jock itch--at least not in my case. I've had jock itch before, usually in the summer. Something interesting that I found is, when I have jock itch, wearing soaking wet diapers for a while actually seems to HELP. Something in the pee or in the ammonia that starts to form after I've been in them for a while seems to act as an antidote for the jock itch!
