5. Dusting powders.--Corn, potato or rice starch powders. Mennen's baby
powder is also good. Borated kind is the best for this.
6. Oxide of Zinc ointment alone, applied night and morning, is valuable in
many cases.
The Black wash should be used twice a day just before the oxide of zinc
ointment is applied. In other cases powdered oxide of zinc is dusted over
the part if the discharge is watery or profuse.
