Couple of painful ingrown hairs between the numpty and the wumpties - any thoughts? :oops:

Hope this doesn't offend anyone, but this is a serious cycling problem!

try a good dose of Savlon, or any other antisceptic cream 2/3 times a day for a week or so, seems to work for me whenever I have any problems in that area :oops:

got one of these

Then you will grit your teeth slightly and dab some tea tree oil/cream on the area. Doing this is will dry the area out and remove any infection that may be around the area.

However this may not be to every bodies tastes. It is an each to their own.

Wowsers Woody - just looking at that thing makes my eyes water! Think I'll try Rich's suggestion first if that's ok. Thanks guys!

My missus takes great pleasure in removing mine with tweezers. :shock:

Also find that a good scrub with a stiff bristled nail brush used in the shower stops the problem from developing by keeping the pores open.

Not a plesant subject, but if it gets left it can become really sore. And I speak from painful experience.... :evil:

boneyjoe

Thanks Gazza. My misses also strangely enjoys inflicting pain. Asked for help the last time, and ended up screaming the house down (neighbours even came around to check everything was ok!). Rather not do that again if possible!

Have a wash

This is all quite disturbing. Never had an ingrown hair before. And this is a common thing? :shock:

boneyjoe

Yes Tardie. Saddle sores have sadly been with us since the dawn of cycling. Count yourself lucky if you've never had one! What type of saddle do you have / shorts do you use? - as you don't suffer these probs, would be helpful to know - thks!

tardington

A body geometry thing(its pretty old), and generally the endura lite padded undershorts. Had to look them up there! I never knew they had coolmax in them. I do have proper shorts, but don't wear them very often...

I always though saddlesores were from your bum rubbing on the saddle. The phrase 'a saddle sore the size of an egg' is now running through my head. Read it somewhere (French Revolutions?) and now it is coming back to haunt me. :shock:

I'm off to buy 1) a scrubbing brush and 2) a bus pass

boneyjoe

ok, thanks tardie - will look into those.

get neutered!

Works for the dog!

tardington

I have been asked to "find out if girls can get this IMMEDIATELY"

Can they? Lack of numpties and wumpties etc?

Get a big fuck off knife with a sharp point and dig the fucker out.
At least that's what I do...

boneyjoe

Thanks very much for all the advice everyone. I think I'll change my user name now, and sincerely hope I never get to meet any of you! :oops:
