Soothing shampoo or powder?

Pringle came to me with urine scald, a mammary tumor, ribs sticking out, nails curled into the pad, mites, and probably lice (I am not sure who brought the lice). She has scabbing on her rump that causes her obvious pain.

I am treating with oral ivermectin and advantage (since the ivermec is oral I was told I could dual treat), lots of cage scrubbing, tossed all wood/porous items, and have some goreous guineas shampoo on the way. The kind for lice and the regular kind.

Those shampoos will likely take weeks to get here though. Is there anything I can do specifically for Pringle's rump in the meantime to ease her suffering? I feel so horrible for her. My friend is in pain. =(
