Chafing
Contributor: KathiG
Chafing often occurs on the inner thigh, groin area, armpits, nipples, etc. as a result of sweating, and friction from body parts rubbing together, or friction from clothing. The best treatment for chafing is prevention.
Select the right clothing Select snug fitting (but not tight) clothing. Shorts or jog bras that are too tight or too loose will create friction and rubbing. Stay dry Use talcum powder or cornstarch to stay dry.
Treatment
Choose breathable, wicking fabrics.... coolmax, supplex, polypro, etc are good choices. no cotton!
clothing should have few seams, flat seams, and small flat stitching.
Do not wear untested clothing on a long walk and never wear unwashed new clothing.
