    For the past few weeks i've had this weird rash thing between my legs
    around where i sit on the seat 😠

    It's really irritating to ride for a long time with it...
    I was wondering if anyone else has this?
    And what should i do to get rid of it?

    Sorry if this is in the wrong thread.. i wasnt sure wich one to do 😄

    Its from the materials of your pants and the seat constantly rubbing up
    and down in that area. It will go away.

    Yeah, bike shorts, that lube stuff you can rub on before rides.

    But for me, I had it a lot when I was starting, then it finally died
    down. Now I never get it. Not even when im riding from when I wake up,
    to when I go to bed.

    I think its worse for hairy guys, because the hairs actually twist,
    pull, and kinda get shaved off. But your 14, so im not sure how hairy
    you are. lol

    Is it itchy when you aren't riding? It could be a fungus known as 'tinea
    cruris' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jock_itch) - or jock itch which
    could be caused from the rubbing and sweating. Theres creams you could
    apply to get rid of it.

    Its nothing to worry about, its pretty common. Just get Lamisil or a
    similar jock itch / athlete's foot medicated cream at a drug store and
    it should be gone in a week or two. It will probably come back again
    after that but theres not much you can do other than make sure you
    shower or atleast change after a sweaty ride. Don't go to bed after a
    hot ride without showering and the fungus will be less likely to grow.

    I used to get that. But it just went away after a while. I think my skin
    toughened up a bit.

    Try "compression shorts". They are similar to bike shorts but do not
    have the padding and are much cheaper. Look in the sporting goods
    department of your favorite Walmart, Target, etc.

    Also be sure to change into dry clothes after you ride. Don't wear
    wet/sweaty pants for a long time because that can lead to skin
    problems.

    Yes. They are worn as underwear.

    While you are looking for a pair of compression shorts, also consider
    looking for a pair of nylon basketball-type shorts. They don't have a
    big seam in the crotch which makes them more comfortable to wear.
    Wearing something like bluejeans is very uncomfortable because the
    heavy fabric results in a big, thick seam in the crotch which you have
    to sit on.

    That helps with chaffing but does it really do anything as far as the
    fungus? From what he's said so far it seems like hes got the fungal
    growth.

    Not wanting to panic you or anything, but if :

    - You've managed to draw blood (I did when I first started, wrong
    pants.)
    - It's irritating even when you haven't been riding

    then it could also be folliculitis. It's easiest identifiable symptom
    is pustules forming at the base of hairs. If it is that, you'll want it
    inspected by a doctor as soon as possible as it can spread, is
    contagious and can quickly lead to more serious infections.

    It only takes a short course of prescription drugs to get shot of (some
    mild antibiotics) but you'll want to get it seen to before it spreads.

    unicycling, but just a little itchy (alot less than a misquito bite
    though) 😄
