Man, cycling is great and all, but I keep getting ingrown hairs in my buttocks area from all the friction. Anyone else dealt with this? What are your go-to prevention tips? I’ve heard stuff about chamois creams and padded shorts, but I’m curious about what actually works for you guys.
ugh the struggle is real! besides the obvious padded gear try adjusting your seat angle slightly downward to reduce pressure (peloton peeps swear by this) and use an antibacterial body wash post-ride Dr Truswell from health.com says it helps prevent folliculitis also exfoliate gently 2x a week but dont overdo it
yo nolan def been there! markrocks covered the seat angle thing but also try chamois cream with tea tree oil its a game changer for preventing those pesky ingrown hairs and dont forget to let the area breathe after rides loose clothing is key trust me
