For some reason the search term "saddle sores" brings up a lot of seemingly unrelated posts, but here you go: http://forums.teamestrogen.com/searc...archid=2006740. There are at least four threads listed below your own that should contain helpful info.

I've never suffered from saddle sores, but it sounds awful. Good luck, I hope you find a solution.

Some people get skin abrasion/sores because their shorts are not tight enough, so they shift around while pedaling, causing friction sores.

When you used to ride a lot, did you have these problems? If not, do you have your old saddle around to take some measurements from?

When you were measured for your saddle, did you sit on the pad with your pelvis in a similar position to your riding position?

Could your chamois be too narrow in back? (try laying it across your saddle)
