Repeated rubbing, dampness and maceration caused by sweat are the ideal breeding ground for irritation. And when you're cycling, that's exactly what happens inside your shorts.
The perineal area is subject to pressure and friction from the saddle, and in the most extreme situations, this friction can lead to the onset of "saddle sores".cyclist's cyst"caused by obstruction of the sebaceous and sweat glands. In other cases, folliculitis can develop around the hairs, which can become ingrown and inflamed.

Just ask Laurent Fignon: he lost the 1989 Tour de France because of a particularly painful ingrown hair....
As for the thighs, by repeatedly rubbing against each other, they encourage skin abrasion. And perspiration, whether caused by heat or exertion, tends to accentuate the phenomenon.
