Sweat sores

Hmmm...lovely subject. I've suffered irritating sweat sores twice before - once in 2005 on the Anastasis when the air conditioning went off, and then in 2007 when we lived in Liberia, in the heat before the rains came. Now I'm suffering a third time, again in the hot weather before the rains come. The temperature on the dock where I work most of the time averages 43 degrees C, and a few times I've had to change all my clothing at lunchtime, just to dry out and cool down. But the rainy season clouds are gathering; we had a spectacular storm in the early hours of this morning, and it's remained overcast and "cool" all day - only a humid 32 degrees C. When the rains come and bring the "cool" season, they will be most welcome. Olly
