Rash from Plastic Bag Contact?

Topic Explanation
The forum topic is about individuals experiencing rashes from plastic bags touching their skin. The original poster, Booters, is seeking advice and experiences from others who have encountered similar issues.

Advice and Insights
- Some individuals use fabric covers or barrier sprays to prevent rashes from plastic bags touching their skin.
- Making custom backplates out of material that does not cause rashes and designing them to fit one's body can help prevent leaks and accidents.
- Elastic barrier strips placed on the top of the bag can prevent the bag from touching the skin and alleviate the issue.
- Using a piece of cloth shaped like a baby bib between the pouch and the skin, preferably made of cotton flannel, can help prevent rashes.
- Mycostatin, a powder antibiotic, and clotrimazole cream are suggested as effective remedies for clearing up the rash, particularly in hot weather.
