nether region rashes

prizes14 · Aug 6, 2017

LAST EDITED ON Aug-06-17 AT 09:11PM (MST)[p]Anyone else have problems with getting a rash down low on the inside of your legs when you get sweaty and do a lot of hiking? It makes it almost impossible to continue hiking. I wear jeans which might be half of the problem, but when I do a lot of hiking I always get a rash. Any tips to avoid this? boxers vs briefs?, wear tights as a base layer? powders?

A CHUB RUB HUH?

Back Me Off to 1,700 Yards,650 is a Little Close & I'm Not Comfortable with it!

A GUT SHOT at 1,700 Yards will Still Make Some Good BRAGGIN Rights so I Can Say I At Least Hit Him!

When warm, yes. Carry a small ziplock with some corn starch. Apply liberally.

When I as in high school I was 6'3" and weighed in at 245 not an once of fat on me,track,football,weight lifting... but learned that as tough as I thought i was a little diaper rash desitin was alot easter to use than chafing the insides of the high thigh areas. Use it before it chafed up. Corn starch will work but not as well.

For starters, stay away from 100% cotton material for underwear.
Try using briefs with synthetic materials that wicks away the moisture. Your thighs will love you for it!

Boxer briefs, hydrocortizone ointment

Try SAX underwear they are expensive but I use them on long bike rides for the same reason.

They have inserted silk for the area you are talking about and it helps with the chaffing.

not for everyone but it might work

It happens to the best of us...I use "Glide". It is for runners but stops the rash and applies like deodorant to the inside of your legs. I think this is TMI for MM but just trying to help another hunter out. Good luck.

You might try using one of the hand sanitizers with alcohol in it at bedtime, sometimes the rashes have a bacterial origin and this can kill it. I has worked for me on rashes in my instep.

Yes glide works wonders, also try baby powder if it's sweat related, and desitin for after it's already red and raw!

Plus two and wear underarmor, and sometimes baby power.

I learned a long time ago that Carmex works. It will recover in min. Always do the preventative but once it starts Carmex will take it out. I have had it so bad that I was bleeding. Put Carmex on went to bed woke up in the morning with no signs left. I have two to three squirt bottles with me always. Smells bad but I can shoot half a mile or so. Also keep it in an inside pocket as it gets hard to get it out when it gets cold.

2 cents DZ

Buddy of mine had that issue helping me on an extended elk hunt in Montana's Missouri Breaks. We had to drive 60 miles to the nearest town for some "taint cream" as he called it. Can't remember what it was, but I"ll find out. I do remember leaving the tent when he was applying it. We have been friends for over 30 years, but some things are private. mtmuley

This! A great, cheap solution.

If it's on your thighs put regular old antiperspirant deodorant on the inside if your thighs in the morning Geiger yuh start hiking. It will cut down on the wetness there. Trick works for triathlons too, keeps your skin drier.

If it's your nuts, get some baby powder, non scented.

+1 for the Glide. They make a small stick that is perfect for the backpack. I put it on every morning. Once it's used, I wouldn't share it with anyone else.
