TMI - question for large breasted girls...

Do any of you ever get a rash under your boobs? I have one under one of my breasts. I have one under my left breast. I just noticed it a couple days ago. I think I may have gotten rid of it...but just in case it comes back...what do you guys do about this?

Thanks!

In the warm weather, I actually strip off from the waist up and wash my breasts in the bathroom sink and fully dry them afterwards. Suggestions I haven't tried (because washing them 2-3x during the day does the trick for me): powder and/or Desitin.

Powder works...and body glide

Powder does work but it can get out of control and messy. I usually put some body glide under there and it keeps it from rubbing and irritated. You can get it at drugstore.com or at sports authority. It comes in a stick and is easy to apply. I also use it for my inner thighs and anywhere else that "rubs"

yeah, this has only just recently become a problem for me. i use grapefruit seed extract (spray) and it works wonders! takes away the irritated feeling and gets rid of the red in a couple days max. i think the brand i bought is called bio-nutrients or something. it's all natural and environmentally safe.

I second the use of BODY GLIDE ! it is wonderful ! no more chafing !

Thank you to the OP !!!!!!!!!!!!!! - I was trying to figure out what was going on, as I am into my first summer after having a BA, and I never had this problem when I was smaller chested

I use to have this problem all the time, before I had a breast reduction. I talked to my doc and he suggested I change the sports bra I was using. (in addition to frequent washing and drying-- drying is imperative) I switched to a more "breathable" bra, and never wore it more than once without washing. It's a pain but it works. hope this helps!

OP here...

Thanks for all the feedback and suggestions!

It's funny that you mention the desitin and baby powder because that's what I tried. I just didn't mention it because I thought you guys would laugh at me for treating my breasts like a baby's bottom. LOL. I also tried the steroid cream you would use to help a yeast infection because I've heard that you can get a yeast infection under your breasts.

Not sure which fixed it...it was one of the creams though.

i use jock itch spray- dr. advised. never had a problem after that.

I used to have this problem, but I changed the style of my bra and haven't had it since. I used to wear the cheap bras from walmart and such. But for the past 6 years or so, I've been wearing Body by Victoria from Victoria's secret and haven't had a problem. They fit me much better than the cheap ones. They are more comfortable, better quality and no more chaffing!

I think it was the baby's butt cream! LOL, I had this problem before and that was what fixed it. :)

sounds like heat rash to me try using baby powders

Tuesday, June 12, 2007, 10:05 PM

I usually just wipe off under my breasts when they feel sweaty so that i don't get a heat rash...I never tried powder or desitin though, that may work since I have a baby...there's plenty of desitin to go around!

During hot weather, I always put baby powder under my breasts. Sometimes, I've had fungal infections underneath my breasts and then I switch to a powder with anti-fungal activity. That usually clears up the infection in a few days.

I've had this problem in the past when I wore certain bras but not one time since changing brands. A friend said she always uses her hair dryer on the lowest setting to completely dry after bathing. Good luck.

My mom has this problema nd she swears by Gold Bond powder in the green container.

I have had this problem ongoing for years. I use calamine lotion after showering to take care of it. It usually keeps it under control for almost a week and then when it starts to come back I just aplly it again.
