i forgot my wetty the other day and sailed in my boardies and a rashy.
i think the combination of saltwater and a fresh 20knt breeze from the south, has left me with a pair of sore bee stings.
any other sufferers, any miracle cures?????
serious replies only![]()
Haemorrhoid cream like Rectinol. Takes swelling down and also has local anaesthetic.
Second choice a cream like Paxyl or similar that contains Lignocaine
try lemon juice, applied liberally with a scouring pad, then allow to dry in the sun. never tried this one but sounds like it might work.
make sure you don't forget your undies next time. freeballin in a wetsiut does absolutely nothing good to your bag, if you know what i mean.
I suffer from chaffing and sweat rashes in some pretty inconvenient places
so this is a subject which I've had to address, thankfully I've got a clever wife
Lanolin (available from any chemist in tube form)
This is good for armpits and nipples if you have problems with them.
Zinc cream (tube available from supermarket about $3)
If you get "sack rash" apply on inside of thigh next to 'nads and it'll solve your problems for a good 4hr session, Looks a bit daggy when you have a white patch on your wetsuit groin (inside the wetty) but it's much better than walking bow legged and picking up a fungal growth in summer.
pinetarsol soap?!?
(sorry, young'un recently had a bout of nappy rash!)
apparently good for rashs, chafing etc.
Solvol and a wire brush should fix em up . Then apply the lemon juice as mentioned![]()
Then where a hair shirt for a week.![]()
Chopper would say "HTFU" - Make yourself some barb wire undies - wear them for a week - and then anything else you might get afterward would feel like a POP (piece of pi$$)
My medicine cabinet consists of a bowl of salt, lemon juice, vinegar and a huge can of harden the F%^** up, fixes all things.![]()
HAHAHAAHA golden.
I came to have a look at the shinanigans of the windsurfing forum.
This stuff is gold. I wish we (kiters) had such funny stuff happening, instead of slagging off at each other the whole tiem.
sorry, going.
