Chafing

Alicia • 23 • Michigan • taken 💞

Hey yall. I’ve been badly chafed on my bikini line for like over 2 weeks now. Now I did just call and try to schedule with my ob and even just the office with whoever’s available but they’re booked out for a month. I’m about to start my period tomorrow so as soon as I’m off it, if it’s not better I’m gonna go to urgent care. But I just wanted to see if anyone’s ever dealt with this. It started because I think I wore a pair of panties that was too tight and that paired with it was really hot at work because they weren’t really turning the air on and I was dressing too hot too like sweatshirt and sweatpants but then I started taking the sweatshirt off to help not be so hot but it wasn’t working. Well a couple days after I started chafing I started religiously using the gold bond body powder especially while I was at work and then when I got home I’d either use aquaphor, cera ve or aloe Vera. I’ve used aloe on chafing on my thighs and it’s helped and googling says to use a petroleum jelly, unscented lotion or aloe. It’s now starting to get better a little but my bfs concerned and wants me to go to the doctor. There’s no puss or bleeding or open sores. It was really warm and swollen for a little but I can tell it’s improving at least a little. I did also order a chafing stick (gold bond) that has aloe in it but it’s taking forever to get here 🥲any advice? Also any advice for how to go about when I’m wearing a pad with chafing?
