Pics or it didn't happen! :)

When you say sores, do they look like acne spots? If so, try something with a high content of benzoyl peroxide. It won't prevent anything, but will clear the existing sores within 48 hours.

I've been getting small red sores on my balls after pretty much any ride
So tempting to post on the shit fixie skidders say thread.
Do you shave your under carriage? Iirc British Cycling forbade its team members from doing this.

Fuck it, been meaning to post this for a while but have been too embarassed. Judging from previous posts, there are far more embarassing things here.
I've been getting small red sores on my balls after pretty much any ride that usually clear up after a day or two, but simply a short ride to the pub and some appear, slightly painful and very itchy the next day.
I got prescribed anti fungal cream but that didn't help. Was suggested some waxy stuff to put on before rides but that just seems to make it worse.
I always ride with chamois cream if in lycras and always shower afterwards, and any ride in casuals clothes will be followed by at least a wet wipe after, and often accompanied by padded undershorts.
I've been riding regularly for close to 10 years but it's only the last few months I've started having this problem.
