Suggest Remedy For Brownish,dry And Flaky Patch Of Skin Between My Breasts

Over the past three days I have noticed in between my breasts a brownish color. It s dry and flaky when I m out of the shower and just dry it off. I shower twice a day normally and my bras are the kind that keep my breasts separated. I used to out a little deodorant between them but I stopped a few months ago. I used hydrocortisone on it for two days and its still there. Help?

My Dear

Welcome to Healthcaremagic!

I have noted your concerns and feel that most probably it is due to intertrigo which is a condition in which two opposing surfaces rub against each other to produce lesions and the picture exactly like the one you mentioned.

It can be easily managed with simple care. You might like using a cream containing Miconazole and Clobetasone fora few days.

In addition, it is important to ventilate the area and keep the opposing surfaces from touching and rubbing against each other.

Hopefully, this advice will help you get back to normal.

Best wishes.
