Itchy rash under my breast

Common Questions and Answers about Itchy rash under my breast

itchy

Can you recommend a treatment for itchy skin under my breasts, which are on the heavy side? I try to keep that area as dry as possible, but do perspire a lot under my breasts. My previous dermatologist prescribed a fungal cream and an anti-itch cream, which I blend together and spread under my breasts. It helps, but I'd like to avoid having to apply this every day. Sometimes I use a anti-fungal powder instead, but it's not as effective.

I have experienced similar rash under my breasts. My physician said it was a yeast infection. You can also get a yeast infection under your arms. The doctor prescribed a prescription anti-fungal cream that made the itching stop but the rash seemed to hang on. I went to a dermatologist recently who prescribed a powder that is working. I do wear Victoria's Secrets bras and wonder if there is any connection...

I had rather large breasts to begin with and now they are getting bigger along with my belly so they are laying right on my belly causing the rash. I've tried diaper rash cream but it doesn't seem to help but for a little bit and then it starts to burn again. Any body got any remedies or ideas?

I have a red itchy dry rash thats formed under and on the sides of both breasts. i have tried caladryl and some other otc medicines but i can't stop the itching. Even my nipples are dry and itchy. Looks like skin is peeling too. i have stopped putting anything on it and now it looks darker like its burnt or something. i have been scratching over my tshirt at times when it gets too bad to ignore. Any idea what it could be and if it's serious enough to see a doctor?

About one week ago I started having a rash on my left breast. It is not under the breast where you would sweat. It is on the side and top. When it itches, it is INSANELY itching. I can literally bruise from the itching. It's on the nipple and around it....a raised red area where you can see the border of the rash. It has just started on my right breast but it's not as bad as the left breast. I have been using hydrocortisone prescription cream and it doesn't help.

I have a rash on my breasts, mainly on the top parts but also the undersides (but not in areolas or nipples and not in creases). I've had this for about 3 weeks if I remember right. I'm nursing my newborn (almost 4 weeks old.) This is the only place I have the rash. It's not related to a change in fabrics or detergents, and my bras are not too tight or rubbing. Also, it's not from sweating.

I have had the same symptoms over the last 3 yrs. The rash started under my breasts as little red spots under the skin and not raised. I have tried cortizone creams and otc yeast meds as recommended by my derm. Recently, it has spread up to my neck and seems to be getting worse. It seems to get worse when I sweat or get stressed. Anyboy have any ideas?

Please help me get rid of this Im miserable.

I am a 40year old women who has been experiencing itchy breasts for the past 2-3 weeks. There is no rash, dryness, scaling, etc. The area appears completely normal except for the itching. I have not changed my detergent and have done nothing differently. As I search online for answers to my question, the only thing that comes up is Infllammatory Breast Cancer, which seems pretty drastic for this one symptom. Any others ideas?

for a long time now i have had red spots (or a rash) under my left breast and a little bit under my right breast. the rash is flat with no pus or crusting. it rarely itches and does not hurt. i have larger breasts and usually do not wear a bra unless i am going out to eat, the bar, getting my hair done, etc (i feel more comfortable with out a bra on)... any ideas on what this could be??

I have had a rash on my lower stomach below my belly button for several months now.It is itchy at times but i have been using anti itch cream which only seems to help once in a while.It is light red and blotchy and is surrounded by what looks like goosebumps.What could it be?

The bumps are not particulary red, they are really hard to see, easier just to feel the bumpyness on my skin, but they are pretty itchy. In addition to the patch on my back I now have a patch on my chest, above my breast, that is particularly bad. The doc gave me a steriod cream and an antifungal, neither seem to be helping. The redness is decreased on my back, but it is still raised and itchy.

A couple days later I noticed this itchy rash on my inside forearm. IT looks like a scratch and under it looks like a circular raised red area. no nlisters or anything, just like hives or something. Then I noticed that a smaller one appeared on my side up near my breast. I thought that it was poison ivy or somthing so I started to put some ointment that my sons dr gave him a month ago on it.

Hiya Stella I got to know today my thyroid level is at 40 and was told it should really be under 20...my pulse was 120 so I got to take some beta blockers now until my levels drop.

Hi, I am 21 years old and a few days ago I developed a rash on both of my breasts that is very itchy and it sometimes stings. The rash consists of little red bumps. My nipples are also really sensitive and every now and then ooze a little bit. For the last week I have been jogging 3-4 miles everyday in the heat and have been sweating a lot. Any clues of what this could be?

I have a rash under my breasts and belly which started about 7 years ago when i moved to houston from new york I have used many creams which helps but comes back. I recently used cortizone which made a big improvement but the next time i used it it got worse and starting itching . I scrated it and it started bleeding. I usually use Caress soap but switch to cetaphil when it gets red.

Just recently I broke out in a very itchy rash under the left breat (same breast as lump removal).Could this be another sign of something to be worried about for instance breast cancer ? How often should I get a mamogram done I am only 29 yrs. old and very concerned.I am also big breasted does this have a play in the problems I have had and have now?

It itches really bad to the point that im making myself bleed. we have tried itch creams calamine lotions oatmeal baths, and everything that i can think of. nothing in the red bumps themselves . just itches like crazy!!!!!

I notice a few days ago that i have a red rash under my right breast it can appear dry at times but its not itchy at all. Then this morning i noticed i have the same type of rash starting under my left armpit this one however this is a little itchy im worried that its starting to move all over my body. I have started a new medication for my depression called sertra100 could that be it??? I have been on anti depressants before but not on the particular brand...

I started with a rash under my right breast over the summer. It was very itchy and burned. My doctor told me it was a yeast infection and gave me prescription cream which contains a steroid which seems to calm it down. However, now I have a rash further down...past where my breast ends more on the belly area but on the right side. It is very red and sort of bubbled up slightly...but the bubbles are flat (as if they already burst). It's itchy sometimes...and then its sort of sore.

I have a itchy, sensitive, and bright RED rash on the underside of my right breast. It spreads down onto my abdomen. It's roundish, and about the size of a softball. I have large breast and thought intially that it was a heat rash, but even with hydrocortisone cream application it does not seem to be improving. It doesn't seem to be spreading. Is this something to be concerned about? Thank you, in advance, for your advice.

I gave birth to our first child in October 2009, and have been breastfeeding our child ever since. In December of that year, I developed a very itchy rash on my stomach, upper back, and chest. The itch was insatiable, and drove me mad. My doctor said it looked like an allergic reaction, and suggested some cream for dry skin.

the only places that seem to itch are the cracks (neck, under breasts, under arms etc) every once and a while. my face seems to be clearing up a bit but it's still there and spreading so any help would be much appriciated!!!

i just developed an itchy rash just below my breast. It started really small and only on one side but has spread to other side and is now on my breasts as well. It is not pimply but looks more like poison ivy type rash. flat, a bit red and very very itchy. Any answers??? I also have itchy legs from knees down. I was at beach by ocean and was bitten numerous times by what locals call "No See Ums".

It is now on the front of my calves, the back of my calves, the front of my thighs, the side of my thighs, my hips, and under my breasts. Anytime the rash appears on one side of my body I know the other side will break out soon. It is horribly uncomfortable. I cannot think of anything I have changed except dryer sheets. I stopped using them and rewashed all of my clothing without using them about 3 days ago and there has been no relief from the rash.

Now the rash has gone away on my left shin but left a nasty looking purplish blotch but no itching there, however it is now on my neck, chest, back stomach and under my breasts. I have discovered it is not contagious or else my fiance and children, whom I have close contact with, would have it also. I do not have it on my face, hands or feet or genital area or my head. The itching is so severe that I have scratched enough to cause scabbed over sores.

Ive had a rash all over my body mostly inner thighs, legs, back, buttocks and arms for 5 months. Ive been to doctors they tell me its folliculitious???? Im not so sure my friend who Im not sexullay active with has it now, but my children havent had any signs of it. Its driving me crazy!!!!
