Hello,

I can understand your concern. If you are wearing a bra that keeps your breasts squeezed all the time, you may get cheese like smell from the area. I would advise you to wear a bigger bra and remove it at bedtime so your breasts can breathe.

If that is not the case, you may be having yeast infection in the cleavage area. You can take Fluconazole 150 mg (Fole) once a day for 7-10 days to treat the infection. You can also apply Betnovate-C cream (Betamethasone Valerate + Clioquinol) to the area 2-3 times day for few days.

Additionally, increase your hygiene measures in the cleavage area and take care that you are not leaving any soap in the area while bathing.

I hope this information helps. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. Let me know if I can be of any further help.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
