hi! obligatory ‘I’m sorry if this sounds weird’ since it Feels weird at all to ask these questions, but. I’m AFAB and have an E cup size. For I think around half a year now I’ve been getting a really weird red area right under my breasts sometimes. It’s slimy and smells weird (weird as in something wrong weird, not as in Normal Body Odor And I Haven’t Showered In A While weird) and is extremely sensitive to touch. Not itchy though. It usually dies down or goes away after I shower, or if it persists, I’ve literally just gone to putting a heaping of baby powder under my breasts before I sleep. I don’t know if it actually helps at all but it at least makes it more bearable to put a bra on since it’s not slimy. It looks a lot like a yeast infection, but I’m not sure since I only get it under my breasts. and don’t have any other symptoms. I just don’t know if it’s a hygiene thing or if it’s something I should actually be worried about?

I’m also on a few medications (including contraceptives) if it sounds like a common side effect to something! I just have no idea ;o;

Hi Anon,

Obligatory "not weird at all!"

A rash under the breasts (or between any skin folds!) is called intertrigo, and is very common, especially with larger breasts and with more body fat. There are a variety of potential causes ("differential diagnoses"), including irritation of the tissues, allergic reaction, psoriasis, and bacterial and yeast infections. The most common culprit is just irritation of the tissues rubbing together.

Whatever the cause, the first step is making sure the area is being cared for properly. This includes:

regular cleaning with mild soap

ensuring the area is dry before putting on a bra (pat dry or cool setting on blow-drying)

use a cotton bra with good support (separates bottom of breast from chest wall, if possible)

try using an antiperspirant containing 20% aluminum chloride (often called "Clinical strength") on the area

If these steps don't work on their own within a couple of weeks, then you are more likely to have a bacterial or yeast infection. A health provider will be able to tell you which and prescribe proper treatment, as these require different things. You could also try a topical (cream) antifungal (Lotrimin or Monistat) on the area for 2 weeks. If that also doesn't work, definitely make an appointment with a provider because it's more likely to be a bacterial infection at that point, which may require antibiotics (either oral or topical), or a topical steroid.

Hope this helps, Anon!

PS I generally advise against baby powder. You can use cornstarch instead, if the antiperspirant is not adequate.

Oh btw, for my Indians on here, there's a new virus called tomato flu/tomato fever that's spreading particularly amongst really young children. Rn only four states have been affected- Tamil Nadu, Haryana, Odisha and Kerala, but it's not looking good so people need to be vigilant. Especially with kids under 10 who are most affected and vulnerable. Here's a good article outlining details. Stay safe out there.

The symptoms of tomato flu fever are similar to those of any other disease caused by bacteria. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, muscle aches, sore throat, and fever. In some cases, people may experience stomach cramps, chills, and fatigue. There is no cure for this illness because scientists still searching. However, treatment includes rest, plenty of fluids, and medication if necessary.

Mohs Surgery Techniques and Innovations

Mohs surgery is a specialized procedure for treating skin cancer. It involves removing layers of skin one at a time and examining under a microscope until no cancer cells remain. This meticulous approach minimizes damage to healthy tissue, making it highly effective, especially for cancers on the face or with irregular borders. Mohs surgery offers patients a high cure rate and minimal scarring, making it a preferred choice for many skin cancer cases.
