  1. Hi, anyone suffer from the same complaint? When I sweat a lot on the bike my eye lids skins seem to
    get 'thin'. And the result from mopping my sweaty brow and general face is blisters on the eyelids.
    These are on the folding part of the skin and are easily treated with Daktarin but... Rather than
    treat the symptom how can I remove the cause? I wash my kit and gloves very regular. I have a few
    sets of gloves all with soft to medium surfaces that I wipe my face with. I got these blisters once
    when I did not even pad my face with the gloves, I let it run.

    By the bye any sores on the thigh/groin area are removed using Daktarin. And I am not sponsored by
    any pharmacy companies.

    Isn't that stuff an anti-fungal medication? If so, why would you be using it for (heat ?) blisters?

    They have peel and stick, silly, no need to tape. You could even fold the wings out for a little
    visor. Maybe the deodorant versions would work like antiperspirant?

    You're all nuts.

    What he needs are Sornco "SweatGutters"(tm), produced right here in the US of A under license from
    Corvco (whose president has retired to a tropical isle, apparently).

    SweatGutters attach (painfully) to the eyebrows, creating angled runoffs for people with problem
    perspiration (PPP's).

    In a related development, coming soon are Sornco's new "Ear Siphons" -- the easy way to remedy an
    unfortunate side-effect of SweatGutters.

    After using SweatGutters for one month, my brow wiping woes are over! No more risking treacherous
    off road terrain with one hand on the handlebars! Say goodbye to sweat blurred vision on high speed
    descents! If you have excessive brow sweat problems, this is the ultimate and original forehead
    irrigation system for you! I am completely satisfied with this product and look forward to many more
    years free of a flooded forehead!

    The only time I've ever gotten sore eyelids I'd been using my daughter's acne cream to try
    to eradicate some pre holiday, stress induced zits without resorting to the use of a bench
    grinder. When I started to sweat, it ran down around my eyes and gave me some lovely
    chemical burns in the creases around my upper and lower lids to go with the zits. Are you
    using any kind of topical medication on your face? What about your scalp? Hair pomades or
    styling gels? Perfumed or moisturizing soaps or shampoos? Lots of normally benign products
    can cause problems when mixed with sweat and open pores, especially if you add in sun
    exposure. Your comment about "thin" skin on your eye lids is worrisome. You're not using
    some sort of cortisone cream on your face are you - I have no idea what Daktarin might
    contain, or what it's supposed to do, but if it's got cortisone in it, excessive use/abuse
    can cause skin changes, as can oral prednisone, come to think of it. Other than that, wear a
    sweatband to keep as much sweat as possible off your face, and don't rub.

    I am not at liberty to comment on the specifics. However, let me assure the cycling public that
    despite the widely publicized financial difficulties experienced by our motorized unicycle division,
    Corvco Industries remains financially sound and firmly committed to producing innovative cycling
    products. Once the Grand Jury proceeding is completed, I am confident we will be vindicated, and
    that the allegations of the Internal Revenue Service, Federal Trade Commission, Environmental
