I get this rash under my breasts that I can get to go away in about 4 days but it keeps coming back. I use a Vaginal cream for infections. (Miconazole)

Does anybody know what else I can do? I'm so sick of this recurring. My Dr. said to keep it dry and continue with the cream.

I just posted a loooong post about this and lost it, GRRRRRRR!!

Here it is again in a nutshell. I suffered for months with this same thng, The dermatologist I went to was quick to tell me, "you have a rash." DUH! No shi/, Sherlock...

So I tried this myself and it worked....

1. Three things use a mild soap daily, pat dry the area well.

2. With a cotton ball, rub the area with alcohol, it may sting the first time but will definitely end your rash after several days.

3. Always wear a bra, even a sleep bra except when sleeping.

Keep thess three things up and you'll be rash free in no time.

Candida
Thrush infection and only a suitable cream will help.
Antifungal.
Cut out sugar products.Yes and clean and dry.no skin to skin..sp bra..cotton and not skimpy
Poor you

I've had heat rash but not any other kind. What works best is, after every shower, dry thoroughly and liberally apply cornstarch underneath.

Gee thanks everyone for the quick replies. Now I need to figure out how to get email notifications!!

Anyway, I am using the Miconazole, anti yeast and fungal.
I wash and dry daily and use powder especially if I have my bra off. Guess I need to wear a bra all the time? Oh my, what kind of a life that will be. Fun! NOT

That is one of my problems. I have slow stomach emptying and have to take my bra off (feels like a vice) sometimes mid afternoon. So I douse myself with baby powder but now have switched to Athlete's powder as it has the same medication as the yeast infection cream.

Chatty Lady, I will try the clean/dry and alcohol. ~Cringe~ I also have some sleep bra's and give it a try. Thanks

Mountain Ash, is there a different medication for Thrush/Candida? Just today I was thinking of cutting out all sugar. It's in everything!!!! Does that include fruit???

meredithbead, I have tried cornstarch too. But if all else fails I'll try it again.

What a nice bunch of gals. Thank you so much. Now I'm off to wash/dry and put alcohol on and get that sleep bra on.

Thank you again for your replies.

Sorry my fingers are clumsy today.

Yes fruit is a no .There is a candida diet and if followed can make you well.
Your tummy may also be a trigger and a change of diet may enhance your whole life.
Always check that ommiting any food still lets you have a balanced diet.

BL, just curious, do you have rosacea? I do, and a couple of years ago it was so bad on my face that it was oozing - very ugly and painful. While rosacea usually manifests on the face, it is also known to break out under the breasts. It took years of trying every remedy in the book, (including dietary changes, strong antibiotics and expensive creams) before I finally found something that worked (ProActiv). Within weeks, my face was completely clear...now I only have to use the stuff as necessary. But I still have to use ProActiv regularly on the rash under my breast and it works there too.

I cannot wear a bra at night - if I do, the rosacea flares up there quite badly by morning (heat and sweat are major triggers for me).

If you DO have rosacea on your face, there's a good possibility that the rash under your breasts could be rosacea too.

Try Di's shea butter. She is sending out free samples. Worth a try.
