So basically I seem to get these spot/pimple/boil like sores on my arse only normally one on one side but it is pretty painful and annoying. I can go long periods without having any but then periods like now where every ride just makes it bigger and more painful. I am a very hairy chap so have tried trimming down there as I think these sore pimples may be being caused by hair. I think trimming did help but maybe I need to trim it more often. I have thought about shaving but could imagine the prickly hairs would be painful as it starts to grow back, or maybe it is best to shave and just do it regularly.
I have had a bike fit so think that my saddle height is about right.
I always shower and wash my shorts after every ride. I also use chammy cream.
I recently got a saddle fit with a retul saddle fit machine which tells you the width of saddle you need.
I have been indoors on the turbo which doesn't help but I have got a rocker board which eases it a bit.
I would be glad of any ideas or advice from anyone who has experienced similar. I'm pretty sure its caused because I'm a hairy git, I only get one sore and the other side of my ass is fine. I would class myself as a pretty experienced cyclist and generally do about 7 -10 hours a week in the saddle
