GBP 2.99 at Superdrug - http://www.superdrug.com/clearer-skin/t ... rce=179_75

Turns out it's an amazing saddle sore buster. I'll spare you the details.

Pictures, or it didn't happen. E-mail them directly to Tritans and Kevy, please.

Those of us that have been silly enough to reproduce will also endorse the magical properties of Sudocrem. Anything that can make the most horrific nappy-rash vanish in just hours has got voodoo magic in the recipe. It is the ultimate chamois rash repair.

Surely Tea tree oil really stings on anything severe?
I had fun once. It was awful.

Sudocrem is black magic !!!!

It's frankly one of the top ten things ever created.

Clearly I must have hallucinated then.

Wouldn't know - not severe/spread out, but massively painful. Acquired in earnest on Friday on the turbo, by Sunday I spent 3hrs in the saddle with only a trace of discomfort.

I have yet to experience the wonders of Sudocrem you talk about.

as... how to put it... as a big unit I have had this issue - severe too there aint no way I'd be slapping brut77/tea tree oil on it!

+1 for sudocreme, however when it was really really bad I remembered the ointment the quack recommended when even sudocreme wasn't shifting the little un's rash: metanium - for those that think sudocreme is black magic this stuff is like sudocreme x 10k - rash was gone as soon as I opened the tube!*

I thought Tritans was the one for applying cream onto things they really shouldn't be applied to? ;) :lol:
