Latex neck seal chaffing back of neck

[Grey_Wulff]

Thanks for the advice and links. After reading a lot and seeing I'm not the only one suffering these problems I've decided to try the Apollo Bio Seals. Hopefully, these will solve the problem.

Grey_Wulff; We get a lot of very positive feedback on the bio-seals. They work very well with both neoprene and Latex seals:

As a drysuit diver myself with skin rash problems I am a good [although biased] case study.

Best wishes for lots of safe diving.

Got my bio seals and tried them out for the first time over the weekend. They seemed to work very well. No leaks and more importantly no chaffing

Have used them several more times now and they have completely solved the neck chaffing problem. No leaks either.

You can do a self "patch" test for latex. Wear a latex gloves with fingers cut off on one hand every night. If your hands break out in a rash after a week or so of nightly use, you are allergic to a component of latex. Or you can tape a piece of latex seal or latex glove to the upper right or upper left over your inner shoulder blade. Removing it in 4 to 5 days and if it causes a red flare - you are allergic to latex.

A costly test your dermatologist can do is a True Test patch test. They likely would charge you 200 to 300 bucks for the consultation, application, and reading of the test.
