Rather than simply dealing with the problem and suffering through sore and irritated inner thighs, why not take a look at our top tips on how to stop rashes between legs.

What can cause rashes between your legs?

You may be wondering why you are getting painful rashes between your legs. One of the most common causes of rashes between your legs is chafing. Inner thigh chafing is a common skin problem that occurs, especially in the warmer months. Prolonged friction or rubbing of skin against skin, combined with heat and moisture can irritate your skin enough that it becomes irritated and hot to the touch. You may also experience swelling, redness and even blood in some severe cases.

This chafing often leads to a rash that can be difficult to clear up, especially if you are an active individual.

How do you stop rashes between legs?

Anyone who is suffering from painful inner thigh rashes will want to know the best way to both prevent and stop painful rashes in their tracks. The following are some of our tried and tested methods that should be of some help to anyone wanting to get rid of rashes between the thighs:

• Prevention is better than cure - the best way to prevent rashes between your legs is to stop them from developing altogether. Try wearing fitted shorts or chafing underwear under your clothing to prevent your thighs from rubbing together. This will prevent a rash from developing.
• Vaseline - applying a small amount of Vaseline to your inner thighs will help prevent friction and a rash from developing. It will help to reduce the friction and assist in healing. Vaseline can be used to both prevent a chafing rash from developing and soothe already irritated skin.
• Cool compresses - cool compresses at night will help to calm your skin down and soothe irritation. It can also assist in reducing the irritating itchiness that often comes with rashes. Cool compresses at night are also particularly helpful to reduce any swelling that may have occurred.
• Baby powder - you can also try applying baby powder to your inner thighs to provide your skin with a layer of protection against perspiration. If your skin stays dry, a rash is much less likely to develop as the friction will be lessened.
