[RC] rash (human) question - Zephyr ArabiansWell, it just dawned on me that RC would be the place to ask this. This summer I have developed a new problem: when I ride for any longer than a couple hours I get an ugly, bumpy, painful red rash on my ankles. Just my ankles. It can take as long as a week to go away. I've never had this before and I ride in the same gear as I've always ridden in, which includes suede half-chaps over my tights. At first I thought it was a laundry detergent allergy, as I've been known to react to detergents before, but there was no change in our detergent. It also doesn't matter if the socks are inside or outside the tights -- I've tried it both ways in case it was the socks causing the problem. It has been a bit more humid this summer, but otherwise I don't think it's any hotter than normal (I'm in So Cal and it's usually 90-100+ during the summer on a daily basis). Is this heat rash? Anyone else have this problem? Any hints on what to do to help? It's painful, although luckily it usually doesn't start to hurt until I get home and get my socks & tights off. And, of course, during the healing process it then itches and drives me mad (not a long trip).
