Leg gripper rash revisited

Hi all, 

I asked this a few months ago and didn’t really find any answers.  I went for 2 hours today (short for me) and came back with a big 3” x 3” area of red welts where my leg grippers sit.

While it doesn’t seem to itch, hurt, or really anything, it’s ugly and annoying.  Does anyone know how to get rid of it or prevent it (besides not wearing silicon leg grippers, which isn’t really a practical option)?

I’ve tried a few things post-ride: baby powder/gold bond, hydrocortisone, washing it.  Don’t seem to help.

Don’t tell me to see a dermatologist, they don’t know what it is.
