Hi. Greetings. You get anti chaff - sticks which usually have a lubricant like petroleum jelly which keeps skin from chaffing. Also make sure your inner wear and the shorts u wear is soft and of dry fit quality. See a dermatologist to rule out any fungal infection. Happy riding. Warm regards Dr Govind Suresh Mittal. Bengaluru.
