Saddle Sores

[OakLeaf]

The one thing I'm not thrilled about A&D is the smell stays on my hands after I use it.

You know what? The smell stays on your cycling kit after it's been in storage for 12 years. I exaggerate not.


ETA: still haven't had a chance to try it out for real, but preliminary observations on Nubutte:

(1) When I opened the tub it had a strong minty smell. I hadn't noticed peppermint on the ingredients list before, but there it is. Hmmmm, I thought. I smeared some on its intended destination - if it burns, better find out now than right before a long ride! It didn't burn or even tingle. So far, so good.

(2) It claims healing properties and says it can be applied anywhere on the external skin. I'd just developed a sore on my lip. What the heck, I thought, and put some Nubutte on it before I went to sleep. Woke up in the morning with the sore completely gone. So far, VERY good. Years ago I used a salve made by a local woman that included olive oil, calendula and comfrey leaf, and it was really great for saddle sores; those ingredients are included in Nubutte.
