Rashes on inside of thighs? [heat rash]

Whenever I wear a skirt in hot weather and i walk around the insides of my thighs get really sweaty and they rub together and i get this really painful rash that stings. It really hurts when i walk cos my thighs rub together and i have to do this weird waddling walk so that my thighs dont touch.

Does anyone know any creams or anything i can put on it to make it sting less?

i tried moisturiser, but nothing seem to work. The only conclusion ive drawn is i need to loose weight and tone up.

Heat rash is so uncomfortable. :frown:

The best thing is to try an emollient cream - E45, Diprobase cream, Doublebase cream or Sudocream. Try one of those or trial them and see which works best.

Hope it works. :smile:

I'm a bloke and I sometimes have this issue as well, normally during a heatwave. I'd love to try some kalamine lotion, but the **** would be beaten out of me.

I think talc is supposed to be best for it...I get heat rash on my tummy for some reason but never anywhere else..and it's weird as I only get it when laying flat on a sun lounger or something. I use aloe vera as after sun which helps, and a homeopathic cream which is tea tree and is antiseptic.

Used to get this when I was a porker, solved it by losing some weight.
