“[I] Cannot say enough good things about Chamosyn and how well it’s worked for a stage 1 pressure blister (in a most private rear part of the body). After 3 months of dealing with this lingering irritation on my husband's bum, I stumbled across a review of Chamosyn that said it worked "miracles"... I will always keep a tube of Chamosyn handy for quick treatment (and healing) in case [the] problem arises in the future.”
