 << what do folks do to treat the chafing, itching, skin sores, and the

that crop up from wearing a wetsuit for an extended period,  
inadvertently rubbing some skin against the seat back, etc., etc.

Zinc Oxide Cream, which is used for diaper rash, is good to cure the
results when you can't keep it from happening. I get a rash behind my
arms where my arms rub my sides whenever I paddle in salt water. Nothing
I do seems to stop it but the cream clears it up quickly.
