Brooks saddle messed me up

The iconic b17 got me interested by being touted as the most comfortable saddle and the flyer being the b17 with springs I decided to make the purchase and got it. After riding my flat bar singlespeed with it my inner thighs were burning, sore and red. I only noticed when I went swimming the next day and the chlorine in the pool irritated my legs there even more so bad I couldn't walk right. My thighs rubbing together on the irritated skin was very painful. It was all because of the brooks flyer saddle I swapped out after that. It seems that maybe it flares out a bit too much? I didn't get the laced version and I was riding it for a few weeks. Is it just not the saddle for me I guess?
