Bradford replied to Claireduncan1's discussion 'Bike shorts and hygiene' in the group Athletic Diabetics"Like jwinc said, you might check with a physician to make sure it's not something more, but at first glance your description sounds like a blocked follicle.
First, make sure you're always using clean bibs (or cycling shorts)for every ride.…"
"for 18 months, I had pain in my groin. At times, I would feel a tiny lump. Two drs just blew it off and said they couldn't feel anything. The elastic of underwear made it very painful. Finally the 3rd dr told me it was a lymph node and i needed…"
Claireduncan1 replied to Claireduncan1's discussion 'Bike shorts and hygiene' in the group Athletic Diabetics"Hi there, thanks for that, I know it is an awkward subject!

Bike shorts and hygiene
I am a keen cyclist and doing lots of cycling on my turbo trainer as the weather is rubbish here. I have a persistent lump that comes up in my groin which I think is from a blocked hair follicle which might have been irritated by the occasional high BG and training in a warm environment. I use surgical scrub straight after my training but it is a real pain. Any advice? Ladies would any of you recommend waxing?See More
