vaseline is good, but this works even better:



somebody on here recommended it, so i can't take the credit, helps heal while preventing the rash.

Shave your armpits. That's what I do in the Summer. It should pretty much eliminate the issue.

Two causes of rash that I noticed,
one... not surfing as frequently, so your skin doesn't have a chance to toughen up.

Two... Putting on a few extra pounds. The new roll of fat under your arms rub and create irritations that were non-existent in skinnier days.

Usually the two causes happen simultaneously.
