What Causes Itching And Sores Under Breast?

Hello doc, i ad a itch on my right breast its the outer lower side of the breast. i later found it became kinda sore , cause the area around it was red, and hard. ( i first thought it was a boil) cause it has an head and looked like pores will be coming out. Went to see a physician who did not even check it cos i told her it was a boil. She said i did not not need any prescription apart from vit.C . That i should allow my immune to fight it. She also gave me ibuprofen for the pain. I did t use ibuprofen cause i feel it s too strong. but took the vit.c . When the pain became unbearable, i had to stop wearing a bra. Went to a GP yesterday who prescribed Ciprotab 500mg. Cause he said it s a fungi infection. ( The thing looks like an open wound now.) Do you think ciprotab is okay? Cause i still feel a lot of pain. Although he told me to also use paracetamol for the pain too.( I just started the medication last night ).THanks
