Skin problem, help!

[eclectic]

Just went to the Doc this morning for my yearly. I still have a rash from the tour I was on similar to what you are describing. I wasn't too worried about it because it really isn't bothering me (I haven't been riding too much lately)

She said to put on a cortosteroid cream before going to bed. I have some I regularly use for allergic skin reactions. You can get 1% solutions (cream form) under different brand names over the counter. I have used them for 49+ years and have had no adverse reaction.

Don't know if this will help but it is worth a try. I am going to start tonight.

Update:

I used the 1% Hydrocortisone cream at night and in the morning and it worked!

On the tour I was using Eucerin because that is all I had (I always use it on my face) it kept it a bay but didn't help w/ healing

I think my new plan will be chamois cream of some type during the ride and Hydrocortisone cream after the shower - it works great on heat rash too!

I came across this old thread while I was searching for what to do about prickly heat, as I have been dealing with what I think must be prickly heat in the crease of my inner thigh. I tried a number of different things, but this recommendation for hydrocortisone cream morning and night has improved things a great deal.

Thanks to the OP and to teamestrogen for the information!
