The American Academy of Dermatology recommends using petroleum jelly to help treat and prevent thigh chafing. Cover the irritated skin and any blisters with a small amount of petroleum jelly. This helps to protect the area, and may help it heal faster.Jul 17, 2019
What to use to avoid chafing?
Petroleum jelly or anti-chafing creams, gels, or balms can help reduce friction in areas where you know skin will rub against skin. Absorbent powders such as cornstarch or talc can also help.
How do I prevent chafing between my legs?
- Wear spandex bottoms during your workouts, as these provide more room for movement to prevent inner thigh friction.
- Wear polyester or spandex blends for more breathability instead of cotton, which traps sweat.
- Wear loose pants and shorts to prevent inner thigh constriction and sweat.
