female only Sports bras and itchiness

[fern 195]

I've wore sports bras forever, but especially now after I kept having to buy bras over and over again. My issue is .... The skin in-between the girls are super itchy!!! It was so itchy last night ( even after putting on anti itch cream) i didn't notice that I had scratched till I bled!!! So now I have a couple little scratch marks and a whole lotta redness. Anyone else have this problem? Any help for a fix???

Sounds like it might be a fungal infection. You could try some athletes foot spray or powder.< /span>

I wouldn't be spraying anything onto open skin. Not only, "Ouch!" but potentially not healthy and could make matters worse. Of course the right answer is, CALL YOUR DOCTOR. The answer could be as simple as fresh air and sunlight. Who knows? But once again, if you are concerned enough to post it here, then you should, CALL YOUR DOCTOR.

I was having this problem, my trick that helped was putting a little baby powder in there. I buy the Johnson and Johnson kind with cornstarch and Aloe in it. Helps with keeping everything dry and keeps me from scratching myself raw.

Hope this helps.

my dr. told me to use corn starch.....I just put some on every day under the girls with a make-up brush

Sounds good! I like the cornstarch and/ or baby powder suggestion. Thanks ladies. I'll give that a try and if no luck, then off to the doctor I go. Thanks again ; )

i use baby powder as well. seems to do the trick

i was also told by my PCP to document/take pics of the redness, scratches etc. and go see her so she could document the irritation and proof that I am in discomfort so that if it keeps happening or a fungal infection occurs i have proof just in case down the road i need a lift/breast reduction
