Just a thought - Chamois butter? Wouldn't it have similar ingredients?
It's not just cotton. I use real bike jerseys, and I didn't think they rippled in the breeze that much, but in the last few weeks I have developed a severe case of this. Getting in the shower this afternoon, it felt like somebody was shoving thumb tacks into them.
My kids have had this problem with rash guards (the shirts surfers use) while at the beach. They have used the little round bandage method with much success.
