Hi,

The dry scabs could be a result of the chafing, which is essentially an abrasion (erosion) of the skin. But the painfulness and blister sounds like either an infection or allergy to the gold bond powder.

I suggest that you stop using the gold bond powder and put some antibiotic creme on it. Alternatively sitz baths are very helpful, with either chamomile tea or black tea. Powders (such as simple cornstarch) are great to prevent chafing, but after the fact a sitz bath followed by a soothing cream is more effective in my experience.

Hope that helps! Let me know if I can assist you further.

All the best!

Regards,
Dr. Christine Sauer
