I had this a couple of times whenever i wore skirts particularly. I ended up wearing trackies or leggings so that my legs couldn't rub together and it was feeling better within a couple of days.
Hope it heals quickly for you!!!! ------------- Lisa mummy to Ryan http://www.alterna-tickers.com">

Bit of vaseline or talcum powder (not together) might help ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

| I sometimes get this in summer if I am wearing a skirt. There is some creams that you can get to help stop it. |

yeah, slap on a hell of a lot of vaseline. I had an odd rash a few months back, may have been chaffng, put vaseline on before bed and was fine in the morning. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I had this problem on and off from when I was about 26 weeks preg right up until I gave birth! I tried 3B cream but normal old pams baby powder did the trick the best. ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">

I use aqueous cream (sorry can't spell it :o) )
Its about 5 bucks at the pharmacy for a huge tub and doesn't have anything bad in it. Put a thick layer on the sore patch morning and night and it should be right within a day or two. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I used JJ Baby Powder with cornstarch and no knickers at home. At least its winter! Try having it during summer, sweaty.. gross.
Hadnt thought of aqueous cream, thats a good idea. -------------
