I just soaked my suits in the bathtub with dish soap then hosed them off and now have them drying.. hope it killed the bacteria and what not.. thanks for the help guys
Try not to surf after a runoff,rinse suit after every session and wear a rashguard under your wetsuit.

Its not herpes if its everywhere.
It could be an alergic reaction to sea lice.
google "sea bather's eruption"
there has not been enough rain lately for any run off issues. My mom had a bad reaction to sea lice this week in bethany. Gold bond powder and benadryl gel....
ding ding ding. thats a winner. PS--Dont use vaseline. it breaks down neoprene
yeah rubber break down is a bad thing, especially if you learn the hard way.Originally Posted by aka pumpmaster
If its not a rash then this stuff wont help but since its a rash type topic I'll throw this one to everyone.
Surfed new board this weekend new wax super tacky and the back of my legs got rashed up good after 3 plus hours, well I had bought HeadHunters Rash gel and the initail burn on the rash was a suprise but was pain free the rest of the sesion about 2 hours more never wore off. Great stuff for the pits, wetsuit neck seal rash, etc. Board didnt get slippery either after having this on the back of mthighs but i did try to keep my board shorts between the wax and my legs to keep it form getting slick, but Head Hunters stuff isgood!
My 3/2 keeps giving me an indian burn on my neck. Looks like a hickey but feels like someone is shading a tattoo on my neck.
I use Ultra Body Glide. works great for every kind of rash. Protects the skin, doesnt hurt the wetsuit. Even works on preexisting rashes. Really helped this past weekend when I only needed boardies but forgot to wear my underarmor the first day of Igor. Ouch the first day No ouch the second day. I wear 4 way stretch boardies. I just heard about a new one. Using an ultra violet light will kill almost every kind of airborn fungie and mold. It may work on wetsuits as well.
