All right! Got my first saddle sore. Not bad . . .yet, though getting worse. Top skin rubbed off, but just swollen and red. Not *****. Doesn't have a head. Kinda looks like a bee sting, but hurts!! Hurts to sit, and after sitting a while, hurts initially when walking, then I can forget about it. Haven't cycled since Tuesday morning - first triathlon race for the season is May 11th, so I'm panicking. How can I stay off the bike that long? Anything to speed up the healing process? I've heard of lancing (ouch!! Infection?!), and also just keeping it dry with baby powder, while others say Neosporin. Any suggestions? I need to get back on the bike soon, but don't want to make it worse. Been there for almost 2 weeks now. HELP!!!
