So I remember before the weddings everyone was saying deodorant to use to prevent chaffing. Well what do you use to "heal" it? Can you use deodorant for that too?
H has some powder he uses sometimes but it seems like with this heat any time I wear jeans my legs get some type of chaffing no matter what I do. Even if it's jean shorts it's gonna happen. The powder helps but it takes like days and sometimes I can't wait that long.
Any remedies?
Re: Is this right?
I don't think you can use deodorant after you have already chaffed. I'm trying to remember what H used for chaffing after he ran his marathon... He might have just let it heal by itself, actually. But I'm sure there's deodorant looking sticks at the drug store for that. Good luck!
You aren't supposed to put deodorant on broken skin, so I'd avoid using it until the chafing is 100% healed.
H is a big runner, and uses Vaseline to prevent chafing. Might be a bit messy for everyday use, though. Honestly, I'd avoid any "product" and just wear some under armour type tights under your jeans and shorts (something tight enough so that it isn't going to rub).
