what can i wear under my boardshorts to prevent it??? i've head of vaseline and tried it. but it gets real slippery while in the water

the long bicycle shorts that cyclist wear work under the boardshorts???
or only the licra surf shorts??

thanks

I wear the spandex underarmour shorts under mine, which are the same as the surf shorts and still get a rash on the inside of my legs....so i'm not sure there is much you can do.

Under Armor spandex + Vaseline helps. I think Lycra would be better.

To treat it, try some Zinc Oxide/A&D/Diaper Rash ointment.

I get the suit bumps too...doc once told me to rinse well after each surf, and hang dry....wet crumpled suit can be a bacteria breeding ground.

I think it is just par for the course.

I use no smell / residue kills 99.9% of germs detal on my suit, stopped any itching / smells

the clear stuf worked for me
