Under Boob rash

Anybody else suffering from this? Help I don't know what to do I keep putting hydrocortisone but it's not really helping and it's been triple digits in Fresno, Ca for a month now. Besides that I'm good Ive lost 55 lbs so far.

    Anytime you have skin rubbing against skin a rash is possible. Once irritated, fungus, yeast, and/or bacteria can add additional rash fodder rather quickly as such things love open irritations or sore

  • call your doctor!

  • Calling your doctor on this isn't a bad idea. It also helps log that you have issues with skin rubbing and may be able to help get insurance coverage for skin removal later. Not promising, but it does

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 had that to deal with last week. One dose of gold bond powder cleared it up rather quickly.

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.

Desitin or other diaper rash cream.

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!
