How to stop or prevent Surfing (surfer) rash.?

Question

I used a rash guard and I still got a rash. The rash is on the back of my neck. If any one could tell me if there is any other why to prevent a rash, please help me. Thanks.

Answer 1

If your rashguard contains latex (natural rubber) you may have a slight allergy to it.  If so, switch rashguards.  Latex allergies get worse over time and can become very serious.

Answer 2

I used vasoline years back but it put a stain on the rashguard.  Now I use a slightly more expensive rashguard (it's lighter and I think it has more nylon) with a higher neck.  It fits a little more snug.  Haven't had a problem since.  You might want to try one.

Answer 3

I' ve been surfing my whole life and the only thing to prevent rash burn is vasoline (or what evr oil based product). I know it sounds gross, but just a little bit under your rash guard will go a long way. Now a days I dont go out without it. As long as you can stand vasoline!!!
