hrm+rash

mmk137

I love my hrm (polar ft4). however I've now got a rash from the strap. only on one side, my left, where the join is (the elastic, and the reader part). My right side is fine, no rash.

Doesn't help I have sensitive skin already (i have excema, and have allergies bad at the moment).

Has anyone else gotten a rash from their strap. And what's the best way to treat it?

I have the same model, but no rash. Try using Body Glide on the area before putting on the strap. It's an "anti-chafing skin protectant" used by runners on any area that may get irritated from rubbing. Should be able to find it at any sporting goods store and definitely at a running store.
