saddle sore - what cream?

[nosherduke996]

Deep heat will work well if the skin is broken. At least it will stop you sitting down anymore .

Get some Alo Vera gel. Best all round treatment for skin irrations I've ever used. Never fails.

Many moons ago when I was pretending to race, I and a lot of fellow riders used "Nupercainal" which is analgesic and antiseptic. Don't know if it's still available but ask at the chemists.

I use Savlon when I have to, but on long rides (ie several days/weeks) you should build up the callouses to endure without.

can I repeat prevention better than cure?

keep it all clean and fresh and cream up and keep it creamed, once it starts getting sore you're fighting the tide
