Greetings ~

I recently discovered a wonderful solution for cracks in my hands and very
chapped lips. It is called Bourdreaux's Butt Paste (no, really!!!!) and can be
found at Wal-Mart in the infant section where the infant solutions for diaper
rash are found. It is zinc oxide based and I first tried it on my lips
overnight. I have extremely dry lips due to the low humidity in Montana - in the
morning I was amazed. Smooth and crack free. Tried it on my hands and the same
results. More severe cracks on thumbs - applied and covered with a bandaid
for a day - GONE!!
This stuff was developed by a small town pharmacist and is great. I imagine
it works great for the intended "Butt" cracks as well. Ha.
AND if you want to look like a surfer dude, you can wear it on your lips and
nose during the day.....off white, not glare white, for a more subtle effect.

P.S.( it contains: zinc oxide, peruvian balsam, boric acid, castor oil,
mineral oil, white wax and petrolatum)

If you need pain relief you can get it with benzocaine in it but you may
have to have a prescription as my daughter did for her baby who had a very
bad case of DR (Diaper rash) but I think the formula for the one she had was
zinc oxide and Mylanta (yes, the stomach ache stuff) plus the benzocaine.
They called it Baby Butt Cream. Nice to know they have a form of it
available w/out the need to go through a DR. (doctor).
