I will never forget the cure my Dad came up with for what they called a "jock rash" when I was playing football--- terrible rash and sores under my arms caused by the shoulder pad straps.... Doctors tried everything- creams- pills- ultraviolet light- lotions including the old Jensen Violet that usually took care of returning soldiers "jungle rot"- and nothing would cure it....
Dad said he could... But it might hurt a little...And he coated the areas with the "old" cow iodine.....I yipped and yelled for a couple of hours--but the entire infection/rash dried up- and I never got it again....

Except you can't get that good stuff anymore....
