Calves/back of legs sting in shower

[JTeighty]

Hi,

I ride about 4 times a week for about an hour to hour and a half. I mainly do flatwork in the school. Every evening after riding I have a shower and the back of my legs (calves) sting crazily. Most of the hair there has been lost too probably due to rubbing. It feels very raw.

Anyone else experience this?

Heya, sounds like chillblains, going from cold to hot too quick, try warming up first before jumping in shower, I get this when I come straight from the yard, legs frozen, jump in hot shower and legs get 'stung' and will feel sore for a while after also.

^5 i bet 100% chilblains. I got them really bad for the first time last year.


I cured it by wearing a tracky bottom under my jeans

Yep I tried to get away with just combat trews yesterday and paid for it! I cycle to yard v early when it's freezing so usually I'm an expert on layering! Leggings under are a good one, I tend to sling on my waterproofs over trews.
