Especially during the hot summers, our inner thighs might rub against each other repeatedly through skin to skin contact or through clothing etc to produce friction. This could result in thighs chafing. This issue would occur in all types of people irrespective of their age etc. Symptoms that are associated with chafing thighs are redness, pain, rash on the inner thighs etc.
Ways to prevent chafing highs are
By staying dry:
It must be noted that the presence of moisture along with sweating during hot summers could lead to this chafing thighs issue. We must sprinkle talcum powder or cornstarch on the thighs to keep them dry.
By dressing smart:
Dressing also plays a huge role in avoiding chafing thighs. A barrier must be created to prevent chafing thighs and this can be achieved by wearing snug fitting seamless shorts or anti-chafing bands etc. It is important to wear fabrics like nylon or polyester etc as they would minimise friction.
By applying anti-chafing balm etc:
Before going out, it is necessary to apply an anti-chafing balm, petroleum jelly or silicone lubricant etc to the thighs. By this, friction and irritation etc would get reduced.
By staying hydrated etc:
We would be able to manage our sweat better in the summers when we stay hydrated. That is by drinking water throughout the day. Our skin would be healthy and more resistant to chafing if we eat a balanced diet consisting of vitamins E and omega 3 fatty acids etc.
By following good hygiene:
It is necessary that we must wash the areas more prone to chafing and dry them thoroughly. By this, infections (that could make chafing worse) would get reduced.
