Rash under breast relief



Recommended Posts

I finally found a way to stop the rashes!!! I have been doing this for 3 months now and not one rash. It's so simple. Use deodorant! I use a stick kind and I am rash free. Yahooo, my last rash was so bad I thought I was going to start bleeding. I am not doing anything different other than the deodorant!:whoo:

Actually, I've been to the derm dr. for this, 'Intertrigo'.

It's a fungus, I got it three years ago when I hit my heaviest...and each spring, the first sign of heat/humidity - HERE IT COMES. You can treat this with Lotrimin Spray/Powder is the best version I find. Be sure to totally dry under your breasts after a shower, and even under arms (I get the weeping, rash there sometimes too). Been doing this for years. Best part now; I work for the company who makes it!!! HEHEHEHE

The NSV for me with regard to this; after my current weight loss (which is recommended to get rid of this) - I didn't have one outbreak this whole summer. Yet. Now watch, I've just cursed myself! lol :faint:

You're right...deodorant does help prevent the probelm (antiperspirant kind, of course). But if I do get chafing, I use that wonderful Boudrouex's Butt Paste.......it cures it up in a hurry.

Thanks,

I've been getting bad rashes under my belley and around my thighs-- hurts like heck!

Gyne said it is a type of yeast skin infection and you can use anything you would use vaginally, such as Monistat, etc. It does work! :)

Yes, all that cream help when you get the rash, but the deodorant keeps them from coming back. I don't get any more rashes. I don't use an antiperspirant. I have also started using it under my belly!

The deodorant is especially good to use prior to any type of exercise, it keeps the area so that it can slide, without the skin pulling, if that makes sense.

I use my usual antiperspirant---which I think is Suave, nothing expensive, and it works like a charm. I have got heat rash type of thing under my breasts if I am sitting, for too long, I think it is a combo of the heat, and the latex/ elastic in my bras----OUCH! It sometimes feels like a burn. The deodorant fixes it up!

ok so I got my first rash of this kind sadly its not that Ive been working out and the funny thing is I think the deoderant may have caused it. I was using the deoderant because I was shaving bikini area and then out of no where I had this burning sensation and then I knew it was like a yeast infection but on the skin. Honestly I was horrified as someone else stated I was like damn Im fat as if I was unaware of this before this moment but it stood out because its like finally Im excersising and finally Im starting to loose some weight and here comes this irritating little patch thats keeping me from doing much because it hurts so much. Im going to see my dr tomorrow and see if I can get rid of it and prevent it from comming back.

Wait until you get close to goal. Your bellybutton collapses and you'll get it there instead of under your belly. :whoo:

I use the deodorant trick for the inside of my thighs - if you're going to be some where on a hot day and you have to do a lot of walking - it works great! <O:p</O:p

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
