    Good luck!
    OK so this is probably a dumb question. why would one use chamois butter? The only 'chafing' i get as such is from one pair of shorts on the top of my thigh where the chamois is stitched in to the leg. I only wear those if we are behind in washing & I have nothing else. Like only worn twice all summer long.

    I'm reading this thread b/c about 4 months ago I got a couple of what I'd have described as ingrown pubic hairs - then it all went crazy. I got this huge zit that was a big as a marble. (Gross moment - sorry) squeezed all the muck out, used tea tree oil on it after every shower, it went away. Every 3-4 weeks comes back again - same spot. Now no longer mucky but a hard bump. Would using chamois butter help this heal & stay away. I've had my bike fitted, use a women's saddle, very rarely get uncomfortable on it, tried different brand of more expensive shorts, get out of hot shorts ASAP & shower. So now looking for other options before going in to LBS & asking questions when the whole staff are guys

    thanks
