I have used this product for the last 5 years. I used to use Cetavlex, but it is not available in Canada, but Capritect contains 1% Cetrimide, which is the active ingredient in Cetavlex. I use it because of a persistent sore between my scrotum and legs. It's because I am overweight, I know that. My trousers wear out in the crotch area if I wear Jockey style briefs, so I have to wear Boxe style. Whenever I have a flare-up, I use the cream and it clears up overnight. I swear by Capritect. It's good for skin anywhere.
