Embarrassing question

I just got into cycling a few months ago and it hasn't been pleasant to my butt and the area on my legs right below my butt. After every ride I have what look like little pimples and irritation on my butt and upper legs. Does anyone else experience this? Any suggestions on how to get prevent it? Thanks!

Is it possible you have a lycra allergy that is irritated by riding?

You could try using a chamois butter or Vit A&D ointment as a lubricant and see if that helps.

It's also possible that it's a form of acne. I've had that problem in the past, and my doc gave me some cream that is normally used for acne. I know that there have been some mentions of this in http://www.roadbikerider.com in the past too.

This might be a condition called (I _swear_ I didn't make this term up!!!) (but I would have if I'd thought of it first!!) assne (like acne, but area-specific) caused by sweat/heat trapped by lycra. I've heard wash with anti-bacterial soap as soon as possible and don't sit around in sweaty lycra...
