I believe that they can heal on their own, but you have to be willing to be very patient. I had one bugger on and off almost all race season. It would go down, then get irritated again. Fortunately it was not affected at all by saddle pressure so riding was not a painful, but yeah some pairs of undies were not good... (I really like boy shorts since they don't have any elastic in the sensitive area)
Now that race season is over and I had a couple of rest weeks its finally almost gone. I just hope it stays gone."Sharing the road means getting along, not getting ahead" - 1994 Washington State Driver's Guide

It helps to slap a bandaid over these not just when riding (it'll either stay, or rub off right away), but over the next few days under regular clothes. They seem to need a period of peacefulness to go away.

thanks
Thanks
I don't think a band-aid will be very comfy where the sore is positioned
I will try a bit of gauze & see if that helps.
It's summer..I want to ride my bike even more!
Perhaps this is a good way to get started on my open water swim practice..

If it's on the underwear line I'd definitely avoid underwear with that cut...or just go commando. Works like a dream with some nice baggy shorts/pants.
BTW, I keep waiting for you to change your avatar to this.

I will try to remember to look at the Super Salve to see where that company is that makes it. I think it is in New Mexico _ that's my recollection. I get it at a shop that sells aromatherapy stuff and indian jewelry - so I'm not sure where to send you to find some.
It does work like a charm to heal up the sores. If I have a sore, I use when I ride and then after I have washed up and, of course, you have to give it a little time to heal, but it will and what happened with me is that it did not come back. I used it last year when I did the Tour of Colorado and when I was riding a ton training for the Tour, so it worked for me.
Haven't had any problem for a while, but I don't ride as regularly anymore either, so that might have something to do with it.

Oh, the wonders of hte internet. I searched for Super Salve and came up with the website and yes the company is in Mogollon NM. the website is
www.supersalve.com
Look at the products and under the list of products under Super Salve is an actual product called super salve. That is it! You do not need a large cannister of this, a little goes a long way.
