What I would try would be to take a yard (metre) stick, tape a gauze pad to the end (with gauze exposed on one side) and apply cream to the gauze pad. You might want to practice without the cream first, to get used to finding the offending spot without dabbing cream elsewhere. Good luck.

I'm plagued by an annoying itch right in that spot that can't be reached. Putting some cream on a towel and then lying on it isn't very efficient. My mother used to do it for me but she died in 2006, my brother would freak out if I asked him and I'm not sure I want my sister-in-law that close behind me in case she found it just too tempting.
