It's specifically for irritation down there. I think most drugstores have it. It's not cheap (around $16), but the company's website, http://balneol.com/, lets you print out a $2 coupon. You put a bit on the toilet paper and wipe with it. It feels great and will help a LOT with soreness. I had terrible diarrhea due to magnesium infusions during chemo and this also helped with colonoscopy prep.

This is just a small thing, but it will help with one problem at least. Hugs.
