Sore spots.

I have found that diaper rash cream works wonders!
Because, if you think about it- what you are having is almost exactly diaper rash- you are in wet shorts for a period of time, and that is what happens. Same thing that happens to a baby in a wet diaper. The creme dries it all up.
I use it after my rides, and then after showers, sometimes I apply it again during the day if needed.

What I have is not diaper rash -- it's a large purple lump, about 1" in length, bulbous and sore (sorry for the graphic description!) It's right on the crease between my leg and crotch. I am only riding 2x a week so am amazed that I've managed to develop such a sore. It won't come to a head so I can't get anything out of it. My doctor called it a sebaceous cyst and recommended I have my dermatologist excise it during the off season (which sucks, because I still ride on the trainer during the winter). I've had rawness and chafing before, and diaper rash cream does help somewhat with that, but this is something entirely different. It even hurts when I sit on a hard chair just right. Ugh!
