Old remedy in our family is Resinol. Works like a charm. Used to have family send it to me while I was abroad. It is miraculous.
I had never heard of A&D ointment. It was a lifesaver. A miitary friend's wife from Louisville, KY recommended it. My oldest used to turn beet red from chafing. I tried to keep her clean and dry and double diaper her at night (Curity cloth diapers).
The A&D cleared it all right up, and I never looked back. I sure wish I would have stayed in touch with my friends from those days. Divorce didn't help. My female friends liked him better than me, I think. Some I don't think that was necessarily true; I made a lot of wonderful friends in those days.
And I blame myself as I terrible time keeping up with writing, especially when I'd get depressed, which was a lot, I didn't like to write to people.
