    Male runners use either Body Glide (or equivalent chafing cream) or bandaids. But normally a 10k wouldn't cause this...get technical running shirts so you aren't chafing against wet cotton. The men at your local running store might be able to offer more tips.

    A friend of mine has told me about this (stories of various races), and he sent me a pic of a guy who had blood tracks from the 10K part of an olympic distance tri. So...not usually from a 10k, but it can happen.

    Yes, talk to people at a running store. Find out what you are doing that you can change. Most body lotions are not likely enough to prevent. You probably need an anti-chafing specific product.
