What if it's my skin not the saddle, shorts or fit? Rode 50 miles yesterday, in addition to horrible allergy eyes, I'm now flame glow red on both upper legs, entire length, front to back, about 1" wide. The thought of wearing jeans today is frightening!

I noticed this problem getting worse last year. Will be getting re-fitted later this week. We will look at changing saddles. I'm riding a Specialized Jett 143. We'll lubed, multiple pairs of shorts. I'm concerned it's more a menopausal (I'm 58) issue of thinning, fragile skin. Anyone else noticed this problem and have suggestions.
