What Causes Red Itchy Rash On The Breast?

I have developed a rash -- been about 8 weeks now -- on my right breast. Itchy and red. Been using Otc anti-fungal cream because of the itchy symptom. Recently bought new bras and thought maybe it was from that....but it s starting to concern me and becoming more itchy and spreading.

Hello dear
Understand your concern.
I think it may be fungus or chronic dermatitis.

Bur also note the other causes :
Inflammatory breast cancer
Duct ectasia
Breast abscess and cellulitis

You should consult the doctor and its require examination.
For safer side go for mamography
Doctor may give following treatment

Advice for you:
Apply cold compression pad
Apply cotton between bra and lower part of breast
Take tablet cetrizine
Tablet flucanzole
Ointment clotrimazole plus hydocortisone
Wear pure cotton well fitted bra, not very tight
Apply clamine lotion
Coconut oil and prime rose oil massage
Wash your bra by hot water with added vinegar.

Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
