Rain rot loves wet, crowded, and dirty. Your edge? Clean, dry, protect—run the same quiet routine every time, then break the barn-cycle so it doesn’t come back.
Rinse affected areas; use a gentle, barn-safe wash to soften scabs. Rinse thoroughly and scrape water off so skin is truly clean.
Move air across the coat until skin and hair are dry to the touch. Damp traps bacteria—don’t rush this step.
Apply a thin, even layer of Rapid Relief Restorative Cream. It’s light, non-greasy, and designed for tidy comfort on compromised skin—no slick residue to collect dust.
Re-check daily for a week. Keep gear clean and dry; avoid heavy turnout in mud until skin normalizes.
Pro tip: On lower legs prone to mud splash, use a stay-put barrier on clean, dry skin between rides, and return to Rapid Relief for recovery after washing and drying.
Light, non-greasy comfort for compromised skin—tidy finish, no sting, no slick shine.
