sock puppet sorry
Anyways I have big thighs I always have and they rub together. But lately the part where my thighs meet my vagina have been rubbing against SOMETHING like crazy and it burns...really bad. Maybe that part is rubbing against my vaginal lips (ugh sorry for the lack of terminology) or my clothes but it hurts like a b*tch! And it sucks because I have to walk around A LOT for my job. It hurt the most when I went to a conference last month and had to walk all over. It was really bad it looks like I have scab/burn marks from where I guess the skin went raw? It's super tender to touch and when it starts to heal it gets really dry. Anyways what can I do to prevent this &/or relieve the pain (other than lose weigh which I'm not sure will help the problem or not) I try using baby rash ointment but it just soaked into my skin after a while and didn't help.
The pain is really bad too. When I went to the conference I was in tears towards the end because it was so bad and I usually can handle pain.
*sidenote I did recently start getting brazillian waxes but when the rubbing occurred it was when I hadn't went in a long time and this time it's happening right after a visit. The place I go to is very clean though they don't double dip or do any other waxing no nos.
Please help me!
Thanks in advance!

I've got some prevention ideas, but nothing for treatment...sorry. Sounds terribly painful!!

I believe that one reason we have hair is to prevent skin from rubbing painfully on skin. So you might try growing the hair in and see if that helps.

There are anti-chafing creams, as others have mentioned...although I wouldn't necessarily recommend using them on broken skin.

If you're wanting to wear skirts, I've heard good things about pettipants as a chafing preventative. Not sure this will help with the vulva issue, but will at least help your thighs.

Second on the pettipants idea! As a big girl who lives in the desert, the long leg, moisture wicking undies from Junonia are a life saver when I have to wear skirts for work (I'm on my feet all day too).

I guess it's similar, but I have a pair of bike shorts specifically for skirt or loose shorts. I live in Alabama, and moist thighs get really chafy.
