What Causes Itchy Feeling Under The Breast And Extending Towards The Chest?
Hi, I have an itchy feeling inside my rib cage. It is on the left hand side only and all I want to do is to scratch the inside of my rib cage. The sensation is under my left breast, going up the middle of the chest, sometimes I think I can also feel it towards my left lower back. I read a precious post below that s similar to my symptoms but I too am not in agreement with the Dr. s advice. Hope you can shed more wisdom on this. Thank you.

Hello,
Fungal infection underneath the breast fold is a common possibility.
Consult a dermatologist and get evaluated. Topical antifungals like clotrimazole can be applied.
