Chafing is an abrasive skin condition that occurs due to constant rubbing of skin against skin or clothing. Chafing occurs on body parts such as the thighs, underarms, groin, between the buttocks, and nipples. This skin condition causes the development of red sore patches on the affected body parts. These red sores cause pain in the affected areas. Groin chafing is equally common to both men and women.
The fabric also wicks away sweat, which can prevent chafing. While cotton can be a softer option, it can hold water from sweat or rain, which can contribute to chafing. Inspect your running shorts or pants carefully before purchasing them to ensure they do not have raised seams that could irritate your skin.
