Chafing, Anyone Ever Get It? Can Anyone Help Me Out?
Posted: 08-10-05 21:59pm

Hi, I am overwieght and when I workout, running outside, or working, I get many "raw rash" type things in between my legs, when they rub together. I recently found out that this is called "chafing". But, my legs have been rubbed so raw, they are no longer red, but a purplish-red color.

My question is has anyone ever got it before? How do you deal with this. What can I get to relieve and treat the pain. Besides of course losing weight which is what I am in the process of doing now.

This is really starting to hurt my fitness rutine though.

What you need to do is quite simple, stop your legs from rubbing together.

Buy some boxer-briefs which protect your thighs and also your thighs from chafing.

Make a paste of corn starch works wonders. When its not so rashed you can use dry corn starch or baby powder to try and prevent it.

Ive heard protrolem jelly (or however you spell it)
my friend has a little brother who is very much over weight and has this, his mother just tells him to do this and it seems to do the trick.
