Dry skin, is it from chafing or?

[Anonymous]

Maybe like the last month or two I've bed. Experiencing dry, peeking skin I'm the creases of my thighs by the panty line and I never had this problem before and I haven't had sex in long time. Have any other ladies experienced it m, if so what was the problem?

Change of washing powder/other products might be causing irritation there or it might be chafing if you're particularly sweaty in that area. Avoid things like stockings or tights for the time being, let the skin breathe, wear loose cotton underwear and cotton leggings etc . It also could be eczema which is super common and can appear anywhere.

Use a really gentle moisturising cream or bepanthen on the places that get sore and see if that soothes it, if not see a GP who will prescribe you some specialised anti chafing cream and bah emoilent which will relieve and heal the dry patches and itching.
