Some dudes wrap the bar with a towel.

Seriously, it's not that big a deal. 700+ pound squatters have nothing between them and the bar but their t-shirts. You can handle it.

You can buy a bar pad for only a few bucks.

strangely enough i get this on calf raises rather than squats. 400 with no pads is good

Put the bar low, on the muscles of your back shoulders. Below the bone at the top of your shoulder-blades.

Pinch your shoulder blades together so the muscle where the bar sits on will arch more. It's like a natural shoulder padding.

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO WEAR A SHIRT FUCKTARD. NOT A WIFE BEATER.

ALSO YOU ARE USING TOO MUCH WEIGHT OR HOLDING THE BAR WRONG IF YOU CAN'T KEEP THE BAR FROM CHAFING YOU.

OP: over time your skin will toughen. I haven't squatted heavy in years and I still have a darkened patch of skin running across my upper back.

They shuoldn't get that bad. I find it's about finding the sweet spot on your back and there's no issue except for a bit of bruising after heavier weights, even then it's gone in day or two.
