Or read a book in the bed because to tired to sit . Before I drank a lot beer, but now with the many hours bicycle I am too tired to it, fall asleep at 6PM, which results that I am finished tired at 2AM. Than what else to do in the morning than bicycle...so the cycle begins new..... Might sound complete crazy but for sure more healthy than drinking every evening like most in my age do..... You can drink beer and cycle too. :) No underpants with your bike shorts, but you probably know this already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LikeItHot Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I would get irritated and rashy on my inner biceps and thighs when I started running. I started rubbing Vaseline into the area before running and it fixed the issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No energy for beer anymore......With the Thai beers it isn't that much of a loss anyway. Fun fact...if I bicycle and drink 2 large beer every evening, I get an ever increasing muscle ache in the calfs (over days). Without beer not.....I have no rational explanation.....maybe minerals that the beer wash out more?? yes I have perfect bike shorts......but I suspect that some of the cheap Chinese are more likely to cause problems than the more expensive ones but I am not sure about that.

I heard of men getting problems on the nipples from the TShirt when running.....I never got anything from that (but once a fatigue fracture). Will try Vaseline as well on the bicycle...thanks for the idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrules Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Speak to a pharmacist and ask if a course of 'itraconazole' might be useful. It the above works then it will be gone in days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevemercer Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I cycle a fair bit and sometimes get a rash in that area. A hydrocortisone cream normally helps me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norbra Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) Maybe a pressure sore (bed sore for the infirmed) only painful sitting on the saddle. So get off your bike for a while Edited July 14, 2023 by norbra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swm59nj Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 In the area you are describing it sounds like jock itch. Which is. A rash and itchy., caused by moisture. Or it could be chafing from the apparatus you are using. It will reoccur if the area is not cleaned in a reasonable amount of time. If it’s jock itch. If it’s chafing it will reoccur from the motion you are doing. Try an anti fungal cream. If it doesn’t work you need to see a doctor, preferably a dermatologist. Because it could be anything without a diagnosis from a medical professional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Star Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Had something like this too. Go commando! Toss the underwear and socks for maximum ventilation and give the boys the freedom of movement they deserve. Wear one layer of oversized loose cotton shorts, change twice daily, and wash everything frequently with a bit of bleach (Haiter). Alternate the creams suggested above daily, antifungal, then next day antibacterial. Should keep it under control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One new recruit decided to mr.smart guy and refuse orders on everything. He soon got the resy of the platoon very annoyed and got a couple of severe beatings. He kept it up. One of the training sergeants suggested - Buy some toothpaste with aa strong anti everything additive, hold him down in he shower, pull his u'wear down and rub all the toothpaste into his hangers. They did, he was in sever pain for a few hours. From next day he complied without comment to every order. Also heard of old fashione show polish being used same way, that also apparently brings severe pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowtail Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I would use cornstarch (not cornmeal) as a powder and get a sheepskin (not phony) seat cover. If it does not clear up in a week or two, see a doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geisha Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 It’s probably from heat , like a heat rash., wash’often and only wear cotton clothes/ pants. Antiseptic talc fromBoots or Watsons might help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I buy coconut oil, usually at Big C, but it's stocked at many local stores, even most pharmacies. I buy the clear "100% Extra Virgin Coconut Oil" for around 300 baht per 500ml bottle. The brownish colored coconut oil is much cheaper, processed, and mostly used for cooking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hummin Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Back in the days I used tea tree oil Found this Coconut oil contains caprylic acid which helps to kill off the fungus, and tea tree oil and manuka oil both have potent antifungal properties. rub the coconut oil on your hand until it becomes oily, then add 1-2 drops of either manuka oil or tea tree oil and mix together in your hands 5 ways to treat fungal infections https://iguchinaturalhealth.co.nz/5-simple-ways-to-treat-fungal-infections/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thailand J Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Could be just irritated skin. Some kinda contact dermititis. Use some pure petroleum gel such as Favovas to reduce skin friction against the bicycle. Dermaheu is an effective multipurpose cream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paradise Pete Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 22 hours ago, h90 said: I sit on a kind of bicycle at home something at least 10 hours per week, maybe 15. From time to time I get some acne like infection, mostly where the leg is connected with the rest of the body. It seems to be not direct on the surface, but "inside" the skin/below the skin and therefor it does not react very good to cream. And than sitting on it 2 hours every day is not helpful as well. Any idea on how to treat it more efficient? (Years ago I tried tiger balm.....that can not be used in this area....) Use a hair dryer to get it as dry as possible, then apply dermacombin liberally. Keep at it and if it's anything like what I had (it sounds like it) it will disappear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
