I swim 3 times weekly in a pool and usually 1-2 OWS per week but recently I have been getting rashes in my armpit area during and after my swim, however it only happens during my OWS.  I typically swim 1.2 miles with various intervals during each swim. Anyone else get this type of rash and what did you do to relieve it?

This happens to me too. You originally suspect chafing when you feel the pain but you look down and it's a legit rash. At least for me it happens whether it is salt water or fresh water. I've found it's worse when higher temperatures. You're not the only one!

Any relief ideas? Didn't really notice it until I got in the shower and had the rash on both arms. My appear just behind and below my armpits

I use a liberal amount of body glide before every swim.
