Nipped out for a couple of hours, was cool but not freezing, came back and had a shower.

Oh my god, my backside and feet went bright red and painfully itchy, if there had been a male baboon around I would have been in serious trouble.

Anyone else had this ? never had it so bad, an hour later it has subsided.

Don't jump straight into a super warm shower, warm up gradually.

Yeah, was under pressure to go in as my wife was planning on cleaning the bathroom and no bathroom activities are allowed without complaint for around four hours after.

I think I’ve got them too despite only being in the garage on the turbo trainer for the past 4 weeks or so! I wear two pairs of socks and overshoes but I’m wondering if the pairs of socks are reducing circulation in my feet which is compounding the problem?
