Why Is Baby Powder Unsafe To Be Used In Groin Area?
On the Doctor s today, they brought up that it is dangerous to use baby powder in the groin area. Why is this dangerous and what can you use for chafing. I have been using Johnson s medicated zinc oxide skin protectant for a while now. I am a female, 67 yrs. of age. Had a partial hysterectomy in 1985. If this is not safe for me, why is it safe for a baby? YYYY@YYYY
