The saddle sore resulting from my recent build: different seat/seat too high adjustment. I actually wore lycra shorts today to ease the sore. This is my first saddle sore in 6-7 years. We'll see how the aches go this week. Tough getting old....
Desitin helps for me, post-ride, once afflicted--that and "going commando" in loose fitting trousers when not on the bike.
It's hard to stay dry during a ride unless you're doing a very casual pace, but I try to stay dry after the ride as much as possible.
