I recently saw an episode of M.A.S.H. in which Major Hulihan (played by Loretta Swit) had a "major case of prickly heat" on her rear end. She is shown in much discomfort pulling up her pants to go to surgery, and in the operating room she is seen scratching her butt on one of the surgical racks. While she is confiding her problem to Col. Potter, Klinger accidentally leaves the P.A. system on and the whole camp hears her confession. Later, in the mess tent, she is eating standing up and Potter tells her not to stand at attention and sit down!
