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.
Chafing when used as a nautical term describes the process of wear on a line or sail caused by constant rubbing against a hard, usually metallic, surface. Various methods are used to prevent chafing.

Chafing of a sail rubbing against a cable can be prevented on large ships by tying around the cable.
