I finally found a way to stop the rashes!!! I have been doing this for 3 months now and not one rash. It's so simple. Use deodorant! I use a stick kind and I am rash free. Yahooo, my last rash was so bad I thought I was going to start bleeding. I am not doing anything different other than the deodorant!:whoo:

Actually, I've been to the derm dr. for this, 'Intertrigo'.

It's a fungus, I got it three years ago when I hit my heaviest...and each spring, the first sign of heat/humidity - HERE IT COMES. You can treat this with Lotrimin Spray/Powder is the best version I find. Be sure to totally dry under your breasts after a shower, and even under arms (I get the weeping, rash there sometimes too). Been doing this for years. Best part now; I work for the company who makes it!!! HEHEHEHE

The NSV for me with regard to this; after my current weight loss (which is recommended to get rid of this) - I didn't have one outbreak this whole summer. Yet. Now watch, I've just cursed myself! lol :faint:

You're right...deodorant does help prevent the probelm (antiperspirant kind, of course). But if I do get chafing, I use that wonderful Boudrouex's Butt Paste.......it cures it up in a hurry.

Thanks,

I've been getting bad rashes under my belley and around my thighs-- hurts like heck!

Any kind of baby diaper rash creams does the trick for me!

Gyne said it is a type of yeast skin infection and you can use anything you would use vaginally, such as Monistat, etc. It does work!

I got my first one of these rashes last yr some time and I was HORRIFIED .

I thought OMG IM FINALLLY FAT! Never mind I was 250 and THAT never occured to me . LOL That was on of those , " OH Im one of THOSE people" moments ya know ? I posted about it on here too.

I am still getting them I get them under my belly too so bad that they bleed.

I usually use Lotrimin .

Yes, all that cream help when you get the rash, but the deodorant keeps them from coming back. I don't get any more rashes. I don't use an antiperspirant. I have also started using it under my belly!

The deodorant is especially good to use prior to any type of exercise, it keeps the area so that it can slide, without the skin pulling, if that makes sense.

I use my usual antiperspirant---which I think is Suave, nothing expensive, and it works like a charm. I have got heat rash type of thing under my breasts if I am sitting, for too long, I think it is a combo of the heat, and the latex/ elastic in my bras----OUCH! It sometimes feels like a burn. The deodorant fixes it up!

ok so I got my first rash of this kind sadly its not that Ive been working out and the funny thing is I think the deoderant may have caused it. I was using the deoderant because I was shaving bikini area and then out of no where I had this burning sensation and then I knew it was like a yeast infection but on the skin. Honestly I was horrified as someone else stated I was like damn Im fat as if I was unaware of this before this moment but it stood out because its like finally Im excersising and finally Im starting to loose some weight and here comes this irritating little patch thats keeping me from doing much because it hurts so much. Im going to see my dr tomorrow and see if I can get rid of it and prevent it from comming back.

Wait until you get close to goal. Your bellybutton collapses and you'll get it there instead of under your belly. :whoo:

I use the deodorant trick for the inside of my thighs - if you're going to be some where on a hot day and you have to do a lot of walking - it works great! <O:p</O:p
