Posted: Thu Oct 17, 2019 9:28 pmIt's on the arm this is why I think something melted it. It's not on my elbow. Just in the middle of the arm. When I look inside, it looks like it was burnt or melted.
I put my hand underneath to push it out hence why it looks like it's on the knee.

not sure what you can do about it - I guess you could get a very thin sheet of neoprene and glue or stitch it it over the area, if its causing a rash

BaNZ is pissing on his elbow? Have you used Vaseline to slide into your wet suit?
Beyond that I ask no further questions!

No, only sometimes. pH in human urine in healthy people ranges from 4.5 to 8.0.
