in medicine and surgery, the galling, or rubbing off of the cuticle, especially of the parts between the thighs and about the anus. In adults, it is occasioned by riding, much walking, or other vehement exercise, and may be cured by vulnerary applications. In children there is often an excoriation, not Excrement not only of the parts near the pudenda, chiefly of the groin and scrotum, but likewise in the wrinkles of the neck, under the arms, and in other places; proceeding from the acrimony of urine and sweat; and occasioning itching, pains, crying, watching, restlessness, &c. To remedy this, the parts affected may be often washed with warm water, and sprinkled with drying powders, as chalk, hartshorn, but especially tufft, lapis calaminaris, and ceruts, which may be tied loosely in a rag, and the powder shook out on the disordered places. If the parts tend to a real ulceration, it will be proper to add a little sugar of lead to the powder, or to anoint the place with unguent, alt. camphorat.
