Answer 5

The rash is caused by rubbing of the the neoprene and your skin. The friction causes the rash. There are several ways to treat this problem. There are shirts made to treat this problem. They are rashguards. You can get these at any sports store or surf store. You can also put on powder on your neck to reduce friction.

Answer 6

Baby or Shower Powder...(ahem) I think Vaseline will do it worse since it has oil in it and heat and wearing black will cook up the area..then again it's just my opinion. Best bet is to try it out...take care good luck!

Answer 7

wear a rashguard shirt
