I have heard of people who use underarm deodorant under their breasts. I personally would ask a dr if that’s okay first but I’m sure it helps if sweating is the issue.

My mom had a horrible rash there and it was due to shingles.

I have big boobs and live in Florida so I feel your pain. I've found gold bond medicated to be a savior and I tuck washcloths into the bottom of my bra to absorb any moisture when they're really bad. I also keep them extra clean when there's a rash. It can definitely be miserable! I hope they heal up fast!

I got some cream from Amazon - it's a cross between talc and a lotion .I have also been using body cloths (or flannels as we call them in the UK ) under my boobs too , it seems to help , thanks !

I have this right now .The UK is usually warm in Summer but it's been really hot lately .I have huge boobs .I was told not to put baby powder on it (talc ) but luckily we went to the USA recently and I grabbed some Gold Bond medicated powder .I use that .If this fails I bought some triple antibiotic cream in Walgreens that they don't sell over here ,I'll try that .I can't wait until these boobs shrink and the bra's stop digging in , can you ?

Admittedly I was lower BMI to start so I didn’t lose as much weight as some do but I lost 66 pounds and I only shrunk ONE cup size. I wish I would have lost more of them. Sad thing is I have tiny implants hidden down somewhere I got in my 20’s that even my Gyno is like are you sure wait now I feel them so I don’t qualify for a reduction because I did it in part to myself. Maybe some day I will hit the lottery and that’s the first thing I will be doing. Boob job.

I was told to use this on my thigh chafing as well. I wasn’t sure if it’s the same issue that causes it but that worked for me on the chafing.

There a mommy makeover in my far off future. Once I get to my ideal weight and stay there at least 6 months.

Good for you. They say statistically that people who get plastics are more likely to keep it off too.

Since I'm older, not sure what I would like to happen to my boobs. I'm afraid if I lose too much there they will be more saggy than they are presently. I also have about 60+ pounds to lose, so maybe it won't be too drastic. But I'm saving up for a boob job and tummy tuck!

This may sound funny but I had boob rash for years. Once I got it cleaned up by using over the counter yeast cream for the vagina. I then put deodorant on under my boobs and have never had the rash again. It has been well over 10 yrs now.

Keep trying whatever you can to get it cleaned up. I feel your pain!

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
