What Causes Itchy Dark Outline On Breast?

I have been at soccer practice lately and I always wear a sports bra. Now the other day when I was getting into the shower I noticed that I had a little dark outlining of my boobs (like underneath), so before i got in I thought it was dirt so I sorta scratched at it. Then, I got into the shower and kinda scrubbed it. Today I went to take off my sports bra and got in the tub and its red and flakey now. It also itches and burns in a way where the outlining is.
