I've heard that women who have certain problems put their underwear in the microwave to kill any remaining microbes that washing alone hasn't taken care of. Cycling shorts unlike cotton underwear shouldn't even be washed in hot water and definitely no bleach so it might be worth a try. It might be easier on the cloth than alcohol, but please note I've never tried this with any clothing much less cycling shorts so, I don't know how they will react -they might get hot and melt!

Maybe you should change the seat. As for the other issue...

You are sitting on your soft tissue .... change seat angle

Peroxide and iodine will kill anything without aggravating your skin condition.

Some ppl are lucky (me) and have a very forgiving skin. Chamois have to be padded, washed, rinsed and dried IN THE DRYER!

The heat in the dryer will kill any kind of organism that was left alive by the soap and washing. My chamois have survived such treatment with success after countless wash/dry cycles.

Canesten anti-fungal topical SOLUTION (not cream). Twice a day, keep going for 2 weeks after smell goes. If you're like me, it'll come back and you'll need to re-treat. Forever.
