The occurrence of blisters also changed significantly from 45% in the control group to 15% in the PL group (p=0.032); and differences in heat rashes (50% vs 23%) and fungal infection (20% vs 0%) approached significance (p=0.052 and 0.071 respectively).
This result did not reach statistical significance (p=0.066) due to the high variability between patients.
This showed a reduction in sweat related issues which did prove significant (p=0.007, Table 3 ) and so it must be noted that although the percentages may not be significant on their own, when applied to the data on issues suffered by the individual, the result is valid ( Figure 6 ).
