[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i've been wearing shinguards for a very long time,  probably longer than some of you have been alive.  The moisture and movement of the shinguards is what is causing the irritation.  Cleaning it will only help with killing the bacteria, but will not fix the issue.  You need to minimize the moisture by using some of the techniques suggested and securing it so that it does not move around.  Invest in good shin guard stays (velcro type of straps or sleeves) and make sure the socks are nice and tight.  [/quote]

This is spot on. You can also put hydrocortisone cream on shins. This seemed to help minimize My DS’ rash and was recommended by his pediatrician. Then he’d wear a black thin women’s trouser sock under the shin guard because the material backing the guard was causing what was essentially an allergic reaction. (Try different brands bc the material used can be different and you may find one that is less reactive). That way the guard wasn’t directly touching his skin. On top of the shin guard was just his regular kit sock. [/quote]
