What Could Be The Red Itchy Rash Under The Breasts?
I had a red itchy rash under my breasts and on the side of my breasts that was mostly cleared up, I used penaten cream and baby powder. Now the rash is on either side of my chest near armpits and shoots down on either side of my breasts. It is itchy, and appears to be spreading across to the other side, almost making a neckline rash as well. I haven t changed my laundry soap, nor sweating any different...what could this be?

Hi,
As per your query, you have symptoms of red itchy rash under the breasts which seems to be clogged pore of sebaceous glands and due to a persistent allergic reaction.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you take a proper course of antihistamine drug along with a short course of oral corticosteroids after proper prescription. Drink plenty of water. Wash area properly and apply a cream containing azelaic acid. Exfoliate your skin once in a week to remove the dead skin. If the condition doesn't get better in a month then consult dermatologist again for proper diagnosis and to rule out any underlying condition. The doctor may prescribe isotretinoin, steroid ointment or antibiotics course.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
