Ever see someone start a fire by rubbing two sticks together? That's what chafed thighs can feel like.<br />According to Allure, the rashy redness that comes from chafed thighs comes from friction, pure and simple.<br />The friction generated from walking or running rubs the top layer of skin off. Ouch!<br />To treat chafed thighs, go home and take a warm or cool shower. Use gentle soap and do not scrub.<br />Next, pat the affected areas dry. If it's at night, put on a thicker topical, like Vaseline. For day, choose something lighter, such as Desitin.<br />Next, relax and stop moving your legs! It should clear up on its own, but if they become red, swollen, sore, or show pus bumps, see a doctor.
