Chafing, Borax and Zinc Stops
"Wash parts frequently with cold water and use the following solution:
Pure Water 2 gills
Powdered Borax 1 teaspoonful
Sulphate of Zinc 1/2 teaspoonful
Apply by means of a soft rag several times daily. After drying the parts well, dust with wheat flour, corn starch or powdered magnesia."
The above combination is excellent as the water cleanses the parts and the borax and zinc are very soothing and healing.
