Burnaid burn gel. Nothing works on burns like this stuff.

Another vote for Carmex. Good on the nose and lips in winter. I would also mention Tiger Balm Ultra. Works very well with my arthritis and my sciatica.

You wont catch me making fun of Vagisil. It's just about the best and most powerful anti itch ointment that you can buy. I have most of the salves, poultices and ointments posted so far.

Gold Bond medicaded powder is much better for your skin than a cream or ointment if you have chafing or just irritation. I like the green bottle stuff the best. A travel sized version is in my back pack always.

Almost everywhere requires a prescription for "medium" or "high strength" topical steroid, however you can get hydrocortisone... aka Aveeno Anti-Itch, Bactine, Cortaid, Dermolate, without a prescription. Here are the "names": Synacort Cordran Cutivate Westcort Kenalog Lidex Diprolene Temovate |

Bag Balm Figures that a Mainer would offer Bag Balm into the mix!  FWIW, I totally agree with you, being a former Mainer. I've seen BB cure stuff that was crazy-nasty. Lets look objectively at it: Its high-potency medicine designed to be used on livestock, but just so happens that its also one of the best ointments you can use for infections and rashes and burns. My Uncle Eddie was a lobsterman. He got some sea urchin spikes in his hand so badly, that he would sit and scrap and cut the brittle pieces out at night after supper. Eventually his hand got so bad that he couldn't pull traps. My aunt started soaking his hand in hot water and salt to draw out the infection, and treated with Bag Balm. Its the only thing they could do to avoid a trip to the emergency room on the mainland.
I also get cold sores, herps or wtf-ever they are called in my nose, and the wife gets on her lip once in a blue moon. With Abreva, its miserable. |

I'm going to give a mini AAR at this time.
I sometimes get poison ivy/oak/sumac - I cant tell the difference on my skin - from working on my tractor. Stands to reason, since I use it everywhere and in the bushes. Its the only source of contact that I can imagine. Anyway, I saw this thread and thought of using Vagisil on it. That stuff works very well to control the itch. Also, I would like to add that my brother had a severe sunburn once, and a doctor told him to use Prep H. He smelled pretty bad, but it really helped. |

Anti-Monkey Butt is great powder too.
I keep lots of triple antibiotic, iodine, cortisone. Sunscreen, wife is a redhead. Burn aid, as stated in a prior post, is incredible on burns. |
