there is a all natural salve called Everything balm which comes from goodiesunlimited.com (also an excellent source of all natural soaps) which has tea tree oil,(anti bacterial and disinfecting) eucalyptus oil, lemon grass, a touch of bees wax and amyriad other good things which I slather after every ride. I have even used it internally if I start feeling that "certain itch" and because of the bees wax and other good stuff is all natural, it can be used internally. The bees wax is especially good for locking out moisture.
The other adive I have is to wear cotton panties or undergarments, and try sleeping with a small pillow between your knees, especially if you are side sleeper, which allows better air circulation in the crucial area and is good for your back as well.

addendum, everything balm is my go to medicine for cuts, sunburn, road rash, eczema, and daily messages to eliminate scar tissue on slices and dices. Its good stuff and smells refresing and not obnoxious as well.
