I hate these things -- they're disgusting. http://www.dietrologia.net/emoticons/emot-argh.gif |
Yep, that's ingrown hair for ya!

Don't wear whatever shorts you've been wearing. Get some Lycra.

I never had that problem from crappy shorts, but I did end up with non-cancerous lumps on my balls from a combonation of a seat with crushed rails and cheap shorts. Bottom line is, invest in good shorts.

Once, after a 7 day tour where I only brought two pairs of shorts and nothing to wash them with, I got a yeast infection on the inside of my thighs. No joke (I'm male). Nothing worked to get rid of it until my sister-in-law, a nurse, suggested using a feminine cream (Monistat). It went away after a day or two.

no, I get them on the sides of the back of my torso...makes for fun sleeping.

Exfoliate and, as mentioned above, clean with alcohol.

Loofa sponge and Dr. Bronner.
