I just completed two week-long hikes in monsoonal New Mexico, late August into September. It was the first time I have experienced rash on the center of my back, no doubt caused by my backpack rubbing up against my shirt, extra heat and sweat.
I've always used Dynaglide to rid other sensitive areas of my body from this painful injury. But found that (1) it was really hard to reach the area for treatment and (2) not sure that Dynaglide was that helpful.
As soon as I returned from trail and wasn't wearing backpack, rash cleared up quickly.
Might add that I was hiking with an old GG Murmur and using a GG closed-cell foam pad for both my sleeping needs and the backpack support.
Thought and hoped that someone on here might have some success with treating a similar dilemma.
Thanks,
