Other: Dry suit chafing

I was fortunate enough to get a neoprene dry suit from a friend who decided he was no longer going to wind surf in the cold weather. It fits well and is quite warm but turns my underarms to hamburger from chafing--even when wearing a "non-chafing" long sleeve shirt. I have some "body glide" that I use to prevent chafing while running and I am going to try that, but I'm not optimistic that it will be enough protection to solve the problem. I was wondering if anyone else has any good ideas that have worked for them.
thanks,
mark
