B2,
muffled is right about Vaseline - it's a great rash soother. And it's a LOT cheaper than things like Desitin or the more "famous" rash soothers. Many parents use vaseline on diaper rash & allergies for their kids. It's possible that if you had sensitive skin, your mom tried to keep you very clean & then used Vaseline to try & prevent rash? I wouldn't necessarily assume anything horrible about it.I know with your history it's a definite trigger for you, and I hope your T can help you sort out all of your feelings & worries.
By they way, you don't have to be a baby to get diaper rash! I had a friend who needs to wear urinary pad things b/c of a bladder issue, and she said that those pads give her "diaper rash" sometimes, and that the doctor even called it that!
I hope you're doing OK.
