Ok, ok!

Concurring with what everyone else has said. I get about one boil (big pimple) a year at the crease where my thigh meets my butt. This year I plan to use a scrubby puff with anti-bacterial soap to wash there after riding. A boil is an infected hair follicle gone berserk, so I'm trying to keep the bacterial load down. Once you've got one, only warm compresses, keeping pressure off it, and waiting really help. Some cortisone cream might reduce the inflammation.

If, however, you're talking about a decubitus, in which the layers of skin are rubbed away, that needs medical attention. Skin should not break down like that if it's healthy, and otherwise uninjured.

Keep us posted--where else in the world are so many strangers interested in such things?!? Lise
