20 Effective Treatments To Soothe Your Inner Thigh Chafing

For those who are wondering what chafing is, it is the irritation of the skin in between the thighs as a result of excessive rubbing or abrasion. Such friction comes as a result of two things: Either running on a regular basis or having a few extra pounds that need to be shed. But irrespective of the reason behind your chafing; one thing is always common in all cases. And that’s the excruciating pain and discomfort. Thankfully, there are quite a number of ways to get rid of the chafing without having to boycott your healthy hobbies. Note that you don’t really have to work too hard before getting rid of chafing either. Heck, you don’t even have to go to a hospital to do just that. This is because there are quite a number of homemade remedies that you can use and have the desired results. And with that being said, the moment you feel pain or irritation whenever you’re either walking or running, then it’s time to get to the bottom of it ASAP. You can either switch your garments or even better, apply the soothing cream that’ll get rid of the chafing problem once and for all. Here are other ways to beat the chafing problem:

Are you the kind of person who loves running but can no longer enjoy it because of painful blisters on your inner thighs? If this is you, then you have absolutely nothing to worry about. First of all, you’ll need to check and affirm that chafing is the born of contention - which is most likely the problem. Once you’ve confirmed your fears, consider increasing your water intake and see how that goes. If you increase your water consumption, chances are that your increased hydration levels will end up making your skin feel less irritated. And after a while, the chafing will subside. Increasing your water intake will not eliminate the chafing in your inner thighs completely. Therefore, seek specialized treatment from an authorized dermatologist is always a good idea. Either way, the increased water intake should go a long way in relieving the pain in your inner thighs.

As I had mentioned earlier, chafing in your inner thighs can be as a result of gaining too much weight. Too much body weight has been known to push the skin in your inner thighs closer to each other. And whenever you are walking or running, this will only increase the friction in the process. Therefore, if you want to get rid of the pain you’re feeling every time you are walking or running, then doing some cardio and perhaps a change in diet will help you a great deal. And apart from cardiovascular exercises, you can also opt to drop your bad eating habits as well. A lot of people, especially during the age where everyone is busy, have adopted poor eating habits. You’ll start off by laying down all the sweet junk food and incorporating more fruits and vegetables into your diet. You can also find a good trainer to help you out when it comes to exercise and proper dieting. If you are dedicated enough to stick to your guns, you’ll realize that the chafing effects on your inner thighs are disappearing with time. This is because there wouldn’t be much fat in between your thighs resulting in less rubbing.

If you’ve been suffering from inner thigh chafing, then you might want to switch up your exercise techniques until the chafing problem has been solved. You can ease up on the excessive walking and running. Instead, you can stick to sit-ups and weights. This way, you’ll still end up losing the weight without the constant rubbing which is what causes the painful irritation. If you still feeling the pain as a result of your inner thighs rub against each other even after switching your techniques, then consider using over the counter creams. You’ll be expected to apply the cream before running or walking. And as you do so, keep doing all in your power to putting a stop to the chafing problem. Again, with enough focus and dedication, I don’t see how eliminating the chafing problem can be, well, a problem (pan intended).

Your reason you might be suffering from blisters in your inner thighs might simply be because you don’t know when and how to take a break. When exercising, it is very important to know our limits on a rather intimate level. This means that whenever you feel your body overheating especially when running, slowing down would be a good idea. Learning how to listen to your body is important because doing so will spare you the pain as well as the cost of seeking specialized treatment. The skin in your inner thigh is tender, which means its way more vulnerable to abrasion than the skin on other parts of your body. Therefore, a little precaution would go a long way in helping you avoid chafing and all the discomforts associated with it.

If you’ve ever suffered from chafing, then you know that it is the tender skin closest to the other thigh that suffers the most damage thanks to friction. Therefore, lacing your inner thigh with some Band-Aid will go a long way in protecting the most vulnerable area on your skin from the negative effects of friction. But this should be but a short-term, temporary solution while you’re looking for better ways of dealing your “inner thigh problem” permanently. The longer you keep using Band-Aid whenever you want to take a walk or run, the more inconvenience it will be. In the end, you’ll end up spending a fortune on band-aids which is unwise as it won’t help deal sort the situation. As earlier said, the best way of eliminating the chafing problem is by losing weight. Therefore, you can prevent your inner thighs from rubbing and causing you pain while exercising and losing weight. It all starts by taking things a step at a time and before you know it, the pain will be gone and chafing will be a thing of the past.

Apart from using regular cream to fight blisters on your inner thighs, try using normal lotion brands and see that goes. I am sure it will end up having the same results as the expensive creams the chemists are trying to have you buy. The good thing about applying your favorite lotion in your inner thighs is that it’ll always leave you smelling like a piece of heaven away from heaven. Therefore, it wouldn’t hurt applying that specialized “lotion treatment” before and after running or exercising. On top of smelling good minus the chafing, the constant working out will help you lose all the extra weight. This will, in turn, reduce the chafing in your inner thighs further, relieving you of the pain altogether. Making a habit of applying herbal lotion in your inner thighs will heal up the sensitive area of your skin pretty quickly. And it goes without saying that this will spare you from a whole lot of irritation that is associated with chafing.

Are you are suffering from inner thigh irritation as a result of chafing? If your answer is yes, then you might want to bring some Vaseline into your life as soon as humanly possible. As we’ve already established, chafing is brought about by the constant rubbing of dehydrated skin in the inner thighs. And this usually results in a lot of discomforts. Thankfully, you can get rid of any discomfort by simply applying a thick layer of Vaseline in the affected area before going about your normal daily activities. Vaseline is that it's readily available, which makes it a personal favorite when it comes to the management of chafing. The constant application of Vaseline will also leave your inner thighs soft and well moisturized. If you aren’t a Vaseline person, then feel free to use any other petroleum jelly products you can get your hands on. Always remember to apply a generous amount on your inner thighs if you want to get the much-needed results.

If you are suffering from chafing to the point you can’t go about walking or running in peace, then I suggest you try this incredibly effective homemade paste. Thankfully, the only ingredients you’ll need for making this paste includes oatmeal and olive oil. Put them in a bowl and grind until you’ve created a thick, creamy paste out of it. This will make the application on your inner thighs easier and much more even. You shouldn’t wait for the pain to intensify before using the cream. Always jump into action the moment you feel as the slightest irritation in between your thighs. That’s the only way to fight chafing and save yourself from a shitload of discomfort, excuse my language. Once you’ve noticed the chafing, you’ll be required to apply the cream before and after walking, running or exercising. Again, this homemade remedy is easy to make and it won’t cost you an arm and a leg as most of those over-the-counter creams would.

If your inner thighs are infested by blisters due to chafing, then don’t hesitate using cornstarch because it will take care of the problem head-on. The cornstarch treatment work on the same principle as Vaseline. Its application will not only sooth the pain but also reduce the effects of abrasion. If chafing is a problem, then you’ll be required to apply cornstarch on the irritated areas of your inner thighs and go about your business as usual. Cornstarch has also been proven to hasten the rate at which your skin heals and in the end, leaving it smooth with an even skin tone. Therefore, having some cornstarch in your bathroom cabinet wouldn’t be a bad idea. You know what they all say, better be prepared than sorry – or something close to that.

If you want to get rid of chafing effectively, then you ought to consider looking for outfits made of 100% natural fiber. This is because artificial fabrics have a knack for accumulating heat which in turn magnifies the severe effects of abrasion on your inner skin. And as we all know rather intimately, the more the friction there is between our inner thighs, the more severe the effects of the rubbing will become. And the more severe the rubbing, the more devastating the chafing will become. Therefore, when changing your wardrobe, always consider outfits that aren't fashioned from synthetic fiber. In a bid to avoid overspending, you might want to only change your workout outfit. This is because a lot of the uncomfortable rubbing in your inner thighs takes place when you are either walking or running for fitness reasons. In the event that you don’t know where to find the right workout outfits, feel free to ask the experts for help.

If you want to reduce the pain you often feel in your inner thighs whenever you are walking or running, then I strongly recommend that you use talcum powder. For those who don’t know what talcum is, it is just but a technical term used to refer to baby powder. Thankfully, baby powder is very affordable and that makes it readily available. Therefore, if you find yourself developing blisters as a result of your day to day activities and don’t prefer the usual creams, then using baby powder should be your next best bet. Just like cornstarch, talcum powder not only soothes the pain but will also leave you with soft, tender skin in your inner thighs after using it for a while. To achieve the best results, you’ll be expected to apply the talcum powder insensitive your inner thighs on a regular basis. That way, it won’t take you that long to forget all about the pain.

Feel free to use powdery deodorant as the ideal treatment for your chafing problem because it has been proven to work like a charm. All you need to do is apply it in your inner thighs just like you do in your armpits. The good thing about using powdery deodorant to treat chafing is that you’ll end up enjoying some fresh scent as well as the softness in your inner thighs. One precaution you need to take is making sure your skin isn’t peeled already. Application of powdery deodorant to the broken skin will only lead to further irritation of your inner thighs. I would, therefore, recommend examining the skin in your inner thighs carefully before considering powdery deodorant as a viable option. And while using powdery deodorant as a temporary solution to your chafing problem, you should consider looking for a long-term solution.

There are quite a number of good antiperspirants on the market that you can use to take care of your chafing problem. Just like the powdery deodorants, the antiperspirants will soothe the irritation that arises from your inner thighs rubbing by simply reducing the friction. The use of antiperspirants is also encouraged in the event that you don’t like the over-the-counter creams for whatever personal reasons. Once you have found the right antiperspirant, spread a generous amount in your inner thighs and give it some time to dry up before dressing. The right time to apply the antiperspirant of your choice is after you’ve just come out of the shower.

In as much as running, walking and working out are all very healthy, you might want to ease down on such activities especially when they start causing you a lot of pain. For instance, if you’ve been running or working out seven days a week, you might want to cut that down. Doing this will give your inner thighs, and your entire body by extension, an ample time to heal while undergoing full rehydration. You’ll be expected to go easy on the above-mentioned activities until you’ve found a lasting solution to your chafing problem. Thankfully, there are many ways for solving your chafing problem and it all starts with having a positive attitude. After that, you can then proceed with changing your diet and before you know it, chafing will be a thing of the past. If you already have the blisters on your inner thighs, then don’t hesitate trying out any of the above-mentioned homemade treatments.

If you are having an issue with too much friction being generated in your inner thighs, then you might want to invest in bikers or boxers. As earlier stated, having softened, natural fabric in between your thighs will significantly reduce the amount of friction hence keeping the chafing problem at bay. As far as the best natural fibers are concerned, bikers or boxers made of 100% cotton usually come highly recommended. As stated earlier, chafing is only exacerbated by wearing outfits fashioned out of artificial fabrics. This is because these artificial fabrics cause a lot of sweating due to their poor conduction to heat which in the end, make the skin irritable. Therefore, focusing on the fabric is always a good idea for you. And if the chafing persists when either walking or running even after getting the right kind of size and fabric, maybe it would be a good idea to visit your doctor.

It is common knowledge that the rougher the object, the more friction it generates. Therefore, if you want to reduce the pain in your inner thighs when walking or running, then you might want to wash your workout outfits with fabric softeners. Thankfully, you can find all kinds of fabric softeners from convenient stores closest to you. On the upside, using fabric softeners will also leave your garments smelling fresh and heavenly. In short, making a habit of wearing clean, softened clothes will go a long way in giving you the much-desired relief. That said, you ought to start washing your garments with fabric softeners from the get-go instead of waiting for the chafing problem to knock on your door, metaphorically speaking. You can also use baby powder and cream to further reduce the pain from your blisters as a result of friction due to exercising, walking or running.

Sometimes getting rid of chafing is as easy as wearing clothes that fit. Without any form of treatment. The extra, loose hanging fabrics can easily cause excessive abrasion on your inner thighs. And if ignored, you might get to the point that you might end up in need of treatment because of the unbearable pain and discomfort. Therefore, if you want to avoid chafing in your inner thighs you’ll no other choice but to lose all the baggy jeans. This decision doesn’t have to cost you an arm and a leg especially if you have a good tailor on speed dial. He or she can make them fit for a quick tuck and cut action. But then again, if you feel like it’s time to give your wardrobe an overhaul facelift, then I don’t see why you shouldn’t.

Another rather effective cream to use for containing your chafing problem is none other than diaper cream. Most baby products are effective for chafing because they have been designed to keep the baby’s skin protected and moisturized at all time. Therefore, rubbing some of the diaper cream into your inner thighs before going about your daily activities wouldn’t be such a bad idea. Just make sure you are saving some for the baby at the end of the day. When it comes to the application of diaper cream, you’ll need to gently rub it in between your inner thighs. And as you are doing so, make sure you are putting the focus on the area that feels the most irritation. Once you’ve done it successfully, give it some time for it to soften the area. Then proceed to put on your clothes before leaving the house as confidently as possible. In time, you’ll forget the pain and your walking, as well as running, will be much more comfortable than before. This is because diaper cream not only gets rid of chafing but also repairs and heals the damaged, irritable skin. Diaper cream will also fight off all kinds of opportunistic skin infections that might attack your damaged skin due to the chafing problem.

Just because you aren’t into creams or powders doesn’t mean that all hope is lost. You can always turn to stretch material for help. Stretch material not only fits perfectly but also reduces friction significantly. Therefore, ditching all the other workout garments and just focusing on the ones that stretch can get rid of your chafing problem once and for all. But first, you’ll have to ensure that the stretch material you are intending on buying is authentic and not synthetic. As I have mentioned over and over again, this will give you the perfect walking, running and workout experience because stretch material absorbs the heat which would otherwise form blisters on your skin.

For a proper, all-around chafing treatment in your inner thighs, I would confidently recommend the use of antiseptic cream. Antiseptic cream increases the healing rate of blisters and by extension, chafing. And it is for this reason that antiseptic cream is highly recommended in cases where the chafing has advanced. Also, you might want to visit a good dermatologist in the case where the blisters are too painful so as to have it all sorted out. Finally, you can either get the antiseptic cream over the counter or even better, you can have your dermatologist prescribe it for you after a thorough checkup.

When it comes to the effective treatment and eradication of chafing, you’ll need to focus on two things: The extent of the chafing and the proper remedies for the problem. Thankfully, the extent of chafing can be easily detected even by untrained eyes and most of its remedies aren’t inexpensive. Apart from being inexpensive, all of these remedies are also very easy to come by. And for this very reason, you’ll be required to deal with the chafing problem as soon as you’ve discovered it. In the event that the chafing in your inner thigh is advanced, then it would be a brilliant idea for you to visit a doctor as soon as it is humanly possible. Don’t wait for too long because doing so will only hurt you.
