Sore Itchy Spots Under Breasts

Recommended Posts

I have developed sore itchy spots under my breasts. Some of them have yellow heads on. I have put some sudocrem on them which helps a tiny bit. Has anyone else suffered with this?

they sound like they due to excessive sweating, although its best to have it checked out by your gp to be on the safe side as a rash is one of the many signs of some serious things such as cancer but on the other hand i dont want to frighten you but i would get it seen to pronto

you could try canesten cream. it's not uncommon to get fungal infections under the breasts

It sounds very much like intertrigo, which is a fungal infection. Fungal infections are more common if you've got big boobs or if you're diabetic.

 

Canesten would do the job but if they're at all inflamed then you're better off with Daktacort cream, which I believe you can buy over the counter but your GP can also prescribe for you.
