BUT, there's a trick: a liquid bandage.
It's an antiseptic treatment that covers cuts, wounds, and dry or cracked skin. IMPORTANT: A liquid bandage should not be used on a daily basis for covering up acne. Talk a dermatologist if your acne is persistent or if you have a reaction to the product.Directions
- Clean affected area.
- Apply small amount on the area 1-3 times daily.
- Let dry.
- A second coating may be applied for extra protection.
- To remove, apply more New-Skin® Liquid Spray Bandage and quickly wipe off.
Apply acetone or nail polish remover to a cotton ball or pad. Acetone, the most common type of nail polish remover, will help soften and lift the liquid bandage from your skin. However, it can irritate some people's skin, so try the softening method first if you have sensitive skin.

However, you still need to use Germolene Antiseptic Cream carefully to get the best results from it. Germolene Antiseptic Cream is used to ease pain and help prevent infections of minor cuts and grazes, minor burns, scalds, blisters, stings and insect bites, spots and chapped or rough skin.

It should be okay, but it's best to avoid using products near your privates because it's a sensitive area and if you are worried it may be infected you could need antibiotics/ fungals to treat it so an antiseptic like germoline could well prove useless. Best to get some proper advice from a pharmacist or doctor.
Who is this Germolene cream suitable for? This cream is suitable to be used by adults and children, including the elderly. It should not be used by anyone who is allergic to the ingredients contained in the cream. Do not use on the inside of the ears if there is a hole or tear in the eardrum.

Once the wound is clean you may apply human wound treatment ointments such as Germolene and Bactroban. Be warned any ointment applied to a wound will often be licked by your pet so it is important to prevent this.

The cells in the superficial or upper layers of skin, known as the epidermis, are constantly replacing themselves. This process of renewal is basically exfoliation (shedding) of the epidermis. But the deeper layers of skin, called the dermis, do not go through this cellular turnover and so do not replace themselves.
