Kydex Rash?

It seems every summer, I get this itchy spot right where my holster is. I always wear an undershirt between me and the holster, but for the 2nd summer in a row, I have this itchy spot.

Any of you folks deal with this and have any remedeys?

Try moleskin. That should help some.

Try double rinsing your cloths after washing. Sometimes soap residue can be left behind, and your holster can keep the cloth pressed close to your skin. Then the constant motion can work the residue into the skin and a rash can appear.

It's a simple thing to try, but I've seen it work for other folks...

I 2nd the Gold Bond. That dries the sweat & also makes a very smooth little sliding spot.

Do you have wood grips on the gun? A lot of folks are alergic to cocobolo.

Yep, forgot about that.
