Rash under breast relief



Recommended Posts

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!

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! :)

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

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
