Treating chafed skin
Chafed skin can skin occur following any kind of excessive rubbing on skin. Follow this guide to reducing discomfort and preventing future chafing.
You should give your skin time to heal before exercising again, because further friction will make the chafed skin worse, risking infection.
Luckily, chafing treatments are simple. Gently apply the Elastoplast Wound Healing Ointment regularly once or twice a day. It creates a thin, breathable, protective layer that supports the healing of your skin.
In case a superficial wound was created as a result of chafing, start by cleansing the wound using the Elastoplast Wound Spray, to prevent infection before you apply the ointment. You can also protect the wound by applying an Elastoplast plaster such as Sensitive.
While your chafed skin is recovering, be sure to follow this advice:
Always see a doctor if the wound is deep, bleeds heavily or shows signs of infection like reddening, swelling or warmth.
