Helmet strap rash
Does anyone get a rash from their helmet strap? I have a rash, on both sides, just behind my ear lobes. Is this fairly common? Is it possible that this is due to my strap?

Helmet strap rash
Could be your skin has dried out from the strap. Try a skin cream or pure olive oil.
I always wear a Buff under my helmet to keep it clean and keep bugs out of my hair - even keeps ears warm

Similar, but different experience.
I get pimples on the back of my neck where the roc-loc from my Giro helmet touches my head.
Do you wash your helmet straps regularly? Although I do not wash my helmet in the winter very often, I wash my helmet two or three times per week in the summer.
