I have ‘intimate’ chafing and TMI question

[Deedeedocket]

And it’s sooooo sore. But it’s not from sex, it’s like right at the very, very top of my thighs has rubbed together.

I have a full on bush at the moment. Are the pubes making it worse??. It’s so sore what can I put on it. I’ve ordered chub rub shorts but it feels too high up for that. The skin has like welts in it. Help!

Try some liquid talc (from Asda) or chamois cream. Or lanacane do anti chafe gel

Lanacane
Canescool do a soothing gel
Liquid talc

Aye right... but how long are your pubes to reach down far enough to get trapped between your thighs?

Assuming this is genuine... look at Big Bloomers anti chaff pants. They come up on google quite easily.

sudocreme

It’s right at the top of my thighs! In the crease where my nethers begin. This is genuine and it’s bloody agony.

Cover with sudocream overnight
M and S do great anti chaff shorts

Were you knickers too tight and cutting in maybe?

Jock itch? The cream for athletes foot will help if so.

Could well be fungal rash. Try Canestan thrush cream.

Sounds like it, try sudocreme

Do you wear the body tops? They used to cause mayor rub!

sudacrem and some air - get your pants off woman!

I wonder if it's hidradenitis suppurativa OP, that can happen there as well as underarms

It's summer. Try long skirt and no knickers for a week or so.

i think the full bush would not be detrimental

I trim my bush down to a number 2, or the hairs start rubbing together and pulling.
And Asda liquid talc from the baby section for chafing.

DO NOT TRY LIQUID TALC IF YOU'RE ALREADY IN PAIN.

Sudocrem, and airing your bits at home is the way forward as you recover. Once you're fully recovered, liquid talc can help prevent a reoccurrence. Otherwise, it's going to sting like hell.

I react there to knicker elastic. Could it be that?

Also get the GP to take a wee look - if it's a rash it may need something else?
