I haven't but I understand it is favored as a treatment and preventive for
saddle sores.

Neosporin or bacitracin is probably the best for preventing infection. Also,
you can apply vitamin e oil once it starts healing a bit so you;ll have less
scars. I used it for surgery and it works great!

_ I would highly encourage you to try "moist healing". Bag Balm
is lanolin with a veternary disinfectant. Works great for sore
cracked or chaffed skin, but maybe not the best thing for a
deeper wound.

_ I tried it after my last crash and I'd say it cut the
healing time in half from the usual. It's really important
to keep the wound clean though.
