Help please...skin problem.?

I am very busty, and underneath my bust where my underwire is, is a bunch of dark brown, red, sploches of skin. It's quite unattractive. But what's worse, is that when I work out, or go outside for a couple of hours, the brown and red skin...comes off. It will itch, I touch it, and I have peices of my skin on my hand.





Now my skin is cut up and raw, because it was itching so bad, and a lot of skin came off.





Could someone please tell me what causes this? And...what can I do to get rid of it?

Sounds like it may have given you a yeast infection or some sort of jock itch there.


Any exposed metal, excess perspiration, or improper fit could be causing the problem.


You need to keep the skin clean and dry.


Never sleep with a bra so the skin can breathe.


Start using 100% cotton sports bras.


If you want to treat it yourself without going to your physician-


You could start with trying thin layers of corn starch or Gold Bond powder and if that doesn't work try anti-fungal ointments.


Use thin layers of anti-fungals like lamisil, tinnactin, tetrisil, or dermisil.


Chances are that your physician will give you a prescription for something like valisone.

What causes this is your bra is too tight and to relive the itch you need to wash frequently and go see a doctor so they can perscribe a persrciptioncream.
Reply:dont have an underwired bra...u could be allergic tothe metal or something to do with the underwire could be rubbing and causing irritation
Reply:Please go to the doctor and let her/him rule out an infection.


Recently some one told me about a yeast infection under their breasts. It was in their skin. I had never heard of such until then. Don't count on us Common Sensers- go to a professional.
Reply:Sounds like you need to keep it clean and dry. Carry an extra bra or two and change it. Make sure it's not an allergy to the bra material or what you wash the bra in. Zinc cream may help to heal it and once it's better vitamin A ointment was always the go down below for sweating and chafing when sailing. "Red and brown splotches" sounds like a doctor should look at it. Be gentle with it. Leave it alone (if you can). Picking the skin off will probably make it worse.
Reply:It could be that your skin is breaking down because of constant moisture. It would be simular to diaper rash. There are times during the summer I have that trouble. Not because I am busty but because there is a little extra of me. Try to keep the area dry. If this is an ongoing problem you have, powder the area regularly. that will help.





Also, I only wear underwire. They are the only ones that seem to geve me nice shape. The wires have never cause a problem for me except when they start to wear through the fabric and irritate near my armpit, but never under my boosum.
