Why do they sell PEACHES without a WARNING LABEL?
If its a fungal infection you should have it treated. If its just a red sore bumpy rash, then try Body Glide. Its an anti-friction product specifically for this problem and I've been told by friends that it's fantastic. You shouldnt really use talc as it can block your pores and cause boils. Good luck :)

Wash and dry. Dab your skin with a tissue soaked in Surgical Spirit this will bump off any fungal infection and harden the skin. This is cheap too!
Make certain your underwear is washed at 60C to kill any fungi.

Walk around as much as possible without any clothes on at the bottom, not ideal i know but it helps. At night plaster it with vaseline or antiseptic cream and wear as loose clothes as you have. good luck as I know from experience how bad this can be.

Wear loose-fitting clothes and rub a little vaseline (petroleum jelly) over the affected area - lots of athletes use it to stop chafing when they're running, so it does work!
I can't seem to wake up completely, and I'm always sleepy - what's wrong?
It's caused by friction - and that's the reason the talc helps, because of the silica that reduces the friction.
Go with the vaseline - but only if it is friction - get your doc to check before you use anything at all.
