Looking for thoughts on post ride, post shower cremes to help with soreness. I dont normally do this but with increased training hours in saddle i am finding my skin is getting rather tender. Assos repair gelnis one I can find online and wife recommends Bepanthen. What do folks use, those who have too. Also no steroidal anti fungals?
Assuming you mean a tender taint? A good chamois and chamois cream before the ride may be a good preventative measure. Otherwise QV emollient cream might help. We were prescribed it for one of our daughter's eczema which has since cleared up, but we still always keep a bottle in the house for any skin related issues. It's good stuff, absorbs quickly and doesn't leave you feeling greasy. You can get it free on the Minor Ailments Scheme at the pharmacy too (in Scotland at least).
Is it worth investing in a bike fit? Something isn’t right if your getting that sore
Sudocreme - it's good stuff :o)

And understanding what you are wearing to ride as well - including how old your undershorts and saddle are..
Not a fan of sudocreme, too messy and risky to cats
I read on another cycle forum/reveiw about Doublebase Gel and have been using it for a couple of years now...
SIMPLYMEDSONLINE.CO.UK Use it for mid length rides (3-4hr) as like a chamois cream and also post ride. Cheap, non-greasy and comes in a nice pump action version but can still get a tube version
