Anyone ever get skin rash/irritation from wetsuit?

dude i wear a rashguard and it helps a lot. i get rashes on my stomach a lot when the water gets warmer during the summer and it looks bad because when the rash goes away it is pale white compared to the rest of my skin that is tanned

 

rash guard = no rash; that's why they call them rash guards

 

Are you putting on deodorant before you go out? I've noticed that when I wear deodorant and go surf, I get rashed horribly under my arms. Other than that, put zinc or Vaseline on them and you'll be good.

 

everyone gets rashes from wetsuits. a good trick i like is body glide or belly jelly, or even if your desperate Vaseline will do the trick. rash guards always ride up and end up being a belly shirt for me under my wetsuit, so i stay away from them.

it's weird though because for some reason i only get rashes from my 3/2 and springsuit. and i never got a rash from any of my winter wetsuits-ever. anyone know why?

 

Probably because 3/2 and spring suits use flatlock stitching opposed to blindstitching and glued/taped seams usually present on colder-water wetsuits.

 

my 3/2 is glued

 

sounds like the common wetsuit rash.
with that raw skin it could also be infected, were you out after heavey rainfall?

 

i had that happen to me this winter-twice....the soreness lasted almost an entire week. i got a wetsuit from a buddy and gave him hell afterwards saying he had some kind of "armpit" infection that he gave to me. i wear a rash guard under wetsuit now and it hasnt happened again..but it was SUPER painful!

 

Did it resemble this?




LOL!!! Man that sucked!!!

 

**** that

ouchhhh!!!!! man that ****in sucks ****, ive personaly never had a rash from my wesuit, mabe its because ive rinsed it out after every session for the past 3 years??? i do get rashes in a sertain area when i were trunks tho..... but no were near as bad. idk, if i was you i would def get that checked out by a doc.

 

my neck gets pretty chewed up sometimes but thats it

 

that is far worse than the typical rashes i get... not that it looks that bad but there is more going on there than a regular wear and tear rash

 

Deoderant was my first guess as well when you said you got it under both armpits. Try avoiding putting on the deoderant next time you surf and see if that make a difference.

Ps. Sky that is f'd up man! What caused yours?

 

i get red bumps all on my chest after some sessions it ususally doesnt get too bad but its always there after i surf

 

Holy motherload of Deoderant.......I bet that area was dry on your suit too. Once had it happen to me. Got out the water, took off the suit....noticed the armpit areas were completely dry.

 

I have had it in my nether region before. If it's in an area that has hair, it is usually http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/folliculitis-topic-overview
I had it so severe I had to go to the doctor and get an antibiotic to treat before.

 

Herpies 3 if you ask me Where has your wetsuit been?

 

looks bad

And it looks infected, first go to see a doctor then wait until it gets better,second and last buy a rashguard.
