I can never seem to get rid of saddle sores. If I take a break from biking for a few weeks or months they go away but once I start riding again and if I ride day after day they come back with a vengeance. To the point where some of them I have to take a needle to help with pain.
I have 4 different bikes that I ride with 3 different seats, I have road bike, 2 MTBs, and my TT bike. Whichever bike I ride even for only 1 to 1.5 hours I still get some hot spots and sore spots. If I take on a longer ride they just get worse.
I wear bib shorts and have several pairs that are the highest end Bontrager and Pearl Izumi models. They are the right size for me.
I also use chamois cream. I have tried DZ and Assos and apply a half dollar amount to the area everytime I ride.
I tend not to rock much when I pedal and try to get out of the saddle from time to time for a break.
What am I doing wrong? Please help me...my cycling life would be so much better if I didn't have to be in so much pain week after week.
