What Are The Symptoms Of Eczema?
The skin between my breasts is itchy, wet, sticky and smells awful. I managed to get a small glob of the sticky smelly discharge and it was a greenish yellow color with booger like texture. I recently itched the area keeping my hand above my shirt and the discharge leaked through my bra, a tank top, and my tshirt. What could possibly be happening? There are no bumps just a sore or two from scratching. I do have eczema could that be this?

Hi,
Probably you may be having seborrheic dermatitis. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and treatment. There may be greasy lesions on chest between the breasts,post auricular areas,axillae and groin. You may develop lesions on scalp in the form of dandruff. There may be itching,burning or pain. You seem to have atopic diathesis as you said you have eczema. After thorough examination, your doctor might give antibiotics,antifungal and steroids in tappering doses. Combined cream of steroid and antibiotics may improve the disease. Stress should be reduced as it might exacerbate the disease. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
