Gauded between thighs - Solutions?
I'm using a recumbent exercise bike, because I've got a bum knee and it's easier than the treadmill. I've developed a recent issue... probably because I've increased my speed & distance... the friction & sweat is causing me to become gauded or raw in the crease of my thighs.
I wash & dry well after working out. I've even applied some baby powder, because I remember my mom using that on me as a child when I had this issue. But I'd like to work out every other day, and I'm not getting enough healing time in. Any suggestions to solve or prevent this? Thanks.

what are you wearing? you may want to try wearing under armor (or another brand) of compression underwear, that has helped me. if the friction continues, try vasaline or body glide (expensive).
Where are we going?? And why am I in this handbasket??
right now. somewhere. somebody is working harder than you.

I was getting raw while running and moved to compression underwear and have had no issue since.
