how do you dress your creamed rash? cream residue? dressings? sanitary pads? tips needed!

Are you putting dressings over your cream after applying? using a base layer that doesn’t let the cream through?

I was just diagnosed and the rash is still spreading - it itches so badly and I’m using Eurax cream and emollient constantly but I can’t understand how to dress the rash afterwards.

my rash is on the top of my left thigh/groin spreading round my hip and a little on my stomach. I’ve tried using cotton & elastane bike shorts but the cream residue still comes through. I’ve ordered [these](https://eczemaclothing.com/products/square-cut-pants?variant=34005730099259) from eczemaclothing.com but I worry the cream will soak through them as well and get on dresses.

briefly considered putting dressings under those net pants they use for incontinence? and read some people stick sanitary pads inside their clothes?

I know people with eczema sometimes put non adhesive dressings over the top of their creams but the area my rash is in takes so much movement. I would still definitely use them though if i got good advice on how.

just really need advice from someone who’s been through it x
