Question
What can I do about chafing?
Answer
This is a little hard to answer without knowing what is chafing, but in general chafing occurs when hot skin rubs together, so the answer is generally to decrease the moistness in the area, but using a body powder or corn starch, reduce the friction by wearing clothes between the two skin areas, or staying cooler.
