yeah mate. LOL .. we are of the same build it seems LOL ! I know this sounds crazy, but I have a Deodorant stick for use in the thigh / groin area when the baby power don't cut it! seems to work good. the sweat is the problems ! coupled by large thighs cc back, hope this helps mate

Get some Caladula cream put it on before running. After the run have a bath in epsom salts then cream again. The other way is surgical spirits then talc but in that area you have to be a brave man.

used to happen to me but then i lost 60 lbs from workingout, problem went away.

LG has the right idea Powder them legs up...Actually what works even better then baby powder is some Gold Bond Medicated Powder. They come in several different types. Some are for feet some for general use and some just for chafing. Get the one for the chafing works wonders

I had this problem when i first started running, then it went away... dunno if the skin got used to it or what.

What do you run in? never had it since I started wearing shorts all the time.

Just make sure your pants and boxers are loose.

mate i used to get this prob to but like adam says shorts sorted that out. they let a bit of air get to your weapon area so i wear shorts all the time now. i used to get nipple rash aswell but it was just the logo on a shirt i used to train in :-)

thanx for the tips boyz.... i always wear shorts and go through a pallet of baby powder....but like i said its not all the time just sometimes.......and lords i think you hit SC instead of cc lol

Try using vassalean.

Or you could ware bike shorts under your normal training gear.

Yep vassolene is a good one. This is a common problem for a lot of distance runners regardless of their build so I wouldn't worry too much. Don't ever put sweaty workout clothes back on for a 2nd workout though coz that will exacerbate the problem. If you have any specialty running stores nearby they usually sell a product which is very similar to vasolene specifically for this.

Women might get a similar thing in other areas where the sports bra rubs so i can kinda relate 

One unisex trouble area can also be just under the arm pits if you are wearing a shirt with a seam there so check your clothing choice in case you have particularly nasty rash makers!

Are you really sure this problem in your crotchal area is do to running? Or did you hook up with a burner? lol
