Chafing in funny areas

Does anyone else suffer from chafing in odd places (and no that’s not a polite way of referring to my naughty bits)?

I can’t for the life of me seem to keep the skin on my collar bones. They do protrude quite a bit and I can’t seem to prevent my winter tops from rubbing on them.

Vests are ok in the summer but I prefer to wear a t-shirt to keep the sun off my shoulders on longer runs and I’m finding the current weather too cold for vests.

I try to wear tops with lower necklines but I find they just slip backwards as I run and end up rubbing anyway. I have one with a zip up collar, which doesn’t rub as long as I keep it zipped up, but then I get too hot. No amount of body glide helps, either.

It seems to be worse in races, maybe because the increased exertion causes me to sweat *even* more than usual. I’ve done two half marathons recently and both times came away with blood running down my décolletage, looking like I’ve been attacked by a vampire with a bad aim.
