What's the deal?
I have ridden bikes for many years, have done triathlons for two decades, have spent loads of time in bike shorts and tri suits. Never before have I had so much chafing in the groin area. And the chafing has been accompanied by a stubborn case of jock itch. It's getting frustrating. I have used several kinds of anti-chafing creams, have been prescribed medicine for the jock itch. My shorts are always clean, as is my body (except when I am riding, of course). I suppose I just need to wait until the warm summer days are over.

Any change in body shape/ composition? That could result in more rubbing in the same kit and saddle. This is fairly late in the season; did it just start recently or all this year? And the jock itch suggests that your shorts and body are not as clean as you think.
