How do you heal chaffing?

Answer 1

Petroleum jelly can prevent skin chafing from happening, if spread on places that are susceptible. Cornstarch helps treat chafing. If needed, hydrocortisone cream may be prescribed by a doctor. Products like Body Glide can also treat chafing.

Answer 2

It may sound odd, but diaper creams, such as balmex or another work wonders. Keep the cream in the refrigerator and it will be nice and cool.

Answer 3

Talcum powder works great. Also, you might consider a shirt fitted to ride a little higher in the armpits. Something in a light cotton. :}

Answer 4

If its from running/vigorous activity, then a smear of Vaseline / petroleum jelly on them before running etc will stop it.

Answer 5

You can use bandelettes. They go on your inner thighs and stay in place with silicone. Bandelettes keep your thighs from rubbing together and preventing chafing.
