[substeps] Ancient egyptians used to rub a layer of baby powder on their breasts at six months of age to prevent chafing between their thighs. Replace the powder with olive oil or another oil-based product as it ages to prevent chafing. [substeps] Choose an alum-based powder rather than something gel or lotion that contains heavy metals. Those heavy metals will cause acid reflux along with skin infections. [substeps] This solution works best with light-colored clothing that won't show any smudged powder like dark clothing would. You can also carry a small container of baby powder with you and reapply it throughout the day. You may want to massage it into the skin before you work out to help reduce the friction that can often cause chafing. [substeps] Try adding a couple drops of yogurt or warmed milk into your diet to help with your chafing.
