Yeast infection under breasts

I used generic from Walgreens, and also from Meijer.  My dermatologist also suggested Zeasorb powder (at some pharmacies you have to ask for it, but it is non prescription).  I thought the Zeasorb powder stunk like dead fish, but that's just me!!

I had this too and I made sure I tried under my breasts after each shower and also throughout the day. I used my deodorant too. If it gets sweaty in the day time, just put some toilet under each breast and it will absorb the sweat.

Good luck,

I sweat like a PIG! I am always wet. Its disgusting. Keeping dry under my breasts is the bane of my existance. Before my blood sugars went up this was already a problem but not like this!
I would have to use a roll of toilet paper to keep dry, lol. I did get all cotton sports bras with no elastic and it really hasn't helped.
I itched so bad tonight that I had my daughter go get benadryl spray for me. It burned so bad that it stopped the itch.

Back when I actually had breasts (*sigh*) I also suffered from this problem, especially in the summertime...Post surgery I got a vaginal yeast infection and I told my gyn that I couldn't take any large pills, so she prescribed me liquid nystatin...I told her I never thought the cream nystatin ever really worked for my under breast infections, but she assured me it was the best treatment...Low and behold, two days later, I am covered in a rash over my entire body...Found out why the nystatin didn't work for me all those times!  My first drug allergy in 36 years!  I went to the dermatologist who prescribed something called Alcortin...It turned some of my underwires a lime green, but it was worth it because the rash went away in two days...Ketoconozole is also pretty good and doesn't stain...

Good luck...Make sure you document all your rashes!  It can help with plastic surgery later!

Alcortin, I will try that if the Ketoconozole does not work. Or do you think the Alcortin is better?
I don't care if it turns my chest blue if it works, lol!!

Hi, newbie here,

I get these rashes every now and then, I was told years ago by my pcp to just use the vaginal cream  for yeast infections, it works like a charm. It really is the best thing for it, I would also advise you to put some under your arms as well for safe measure. Be sure to clean and dry the area prior to applying. Hth~

Great tip, I think I will try this.
Thanks

Which vaginal cream do you use? I am thinking of trying Monistat.

Once you get it to go away. Then use Zeazorb powder under them everyday. You get it in the foot are isle. It will totally keep it under control. I have a prescription anti fungal. You can ask your doctor and they will give you something 

Hopefully that should work for you. Keeping the area dry and medicated is essential. Moisture is the enemy.

Once things are better, you might try plain old Monistat cream, or you can get a product called Diabet-X, also an antifungal cream (with a drying agent as well) for anywhere on your person. It's usually at the pharmacy counter, but is not a prescription.
