Shin Pad Rash. Anyone Know A Cure?

[View From The Top]

My nipper is suffering from really nasty shin pad rash after both the training sessions and matches.

 

We wash the pads on a regular basis but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

 

Does anyone know of a sensible cure/remedy of know if such a thing as hypoallegebic shin pads exist?

 

Thanks muchly.

Soz if this a daft question an you don't have to waste a post to do, but are his socks tight enough?

you've probably thought of this already, but a) wear them on the outside or b) wear 2 pairs of socks so as to sandwich the shin pads

[skintsaint]

stick a couple of flip flops down the socks instead

the solution is to wear two sets of footy socks with the pads over the first pair and the team socks on top.. problem should be solved... good luck anyway

Talcum powder down the shin pad before playing works for me.

There are brands that seem to cause less allergic problems than others, I seem to remember from when my son was playing

Uhlsport was about the least problematic and Adidas was about the worst. Could have changed now. He used to put on some

long cotton majority compression socks,then the pads,then the football socks.

My nipper had exactly the same problem we had to use a steroid based cream (daktarin)i think.

Not always a solution. There are some pretty tough golf clubs round where I live.
