In 2022 my mother broke out in a painful shingles-like rash all over her body. She had multiple skin biopsies, saw a number of dermatologists, but no one could figure out the cause. Eventually her regular doctor decided she had a glucagonoma, a lesion on the pancreas that causes a full body rash. Long story short, she had pancreatic cancer and died in 2023. One of the things that made her skin condition tolerable was 5% lidocaine cream. My dad bought dozens of boxes of the stuff, and after mom was gone, I helped myself to a couple of dozen tubs of the stuff. It has a thick consistency, and it lasts for about 2-3 hours. I was a dedicated Bag Balm guy (courtesy of Tractor Supply) for years, but this cream is the only chamois cream I use now.
