Wetsuit neck rubbing

So I’ve got a 1 year old O’Neill 4x3 steamer and the neck is already at the pony of rubbing your neck raw after a decent length surf.
Kinda dreading the thought of wearing it again this winter.

Any solutions on how to reduce the rubbing?
Its super comfortable and warm, just the neck is a real pain in the neck.. you know

This stuff is great, a bit expensive but just like vaso and easy to apply..

You got there in the end GF.
This also works as long as you can live with the “humorous “ name.

If you're anything like me, you'll wait until you start chafing before you use it. Don't. Prevention>cure and all that.

I remember as a grommet this was always an issue and it was almost seen as a badge of coolness at school to have a wetsuit rash on your neck or sometimes you would get remarks asking is that a hicky?

Then rashys became a thing and it became more of a rare occurrence.

Havent had a rashy for as long as i can remember though, or neck rash, guess wetsuits are so much better these days.
