Boob, skin, sweat problem

I have generous sized bosoms but have found recently I have been getting some spot like type things between them, I am assuming a result of rubbing from my bras, and are also getting sweaty between the breasts and below.

I am sure no one else can smell me but to me it is quite cheesey and while I don't want to stop walking as much as I can I need to find something that will get rid of the skin lumps (I got rid of the ones on my arms but it doesn't work on my chest) and also stop the sweating. I tried rolling deodorant between and below my breast but it didn't work.

Can anyone help please?

I always wear my bra over my vest top - I don't know if you wear a vest/tank top etc but I use to get a red line where my bra had rubbed and now I don't. Obvioulsy only when i'm wearing a jumper or other top - in the summer I have to wear it under

I haven't got a very big chest though so this might not be practical for you?

Also wonder does your bra defintely fit correctly, do you wear it all the time?

maybe talc would help - what I'd like to know is how you got rid of the spots on your arms!

My bra does fit. I am quite obsessive about getting rid once they don't. I wear it all the time from morning until bed time. With an E cup i wouldn't feel happy going without.

Soap and glory body scrub stuff got rid of the arm spots straight away. This. HTH.

You might have a fungal infection under there, try getting some athlete's foot spray or powder and put it on the affected areas twice a day for a fortnight. You will also have to either boil your bras or spray them with the athletes foot stuff as well to stop it coming back. If it's red and sore, you might need some hydrocortisone cream too, you can get a combined cream called Daktacort from the pharmacy which has both the hydrocortisone and anti-fungal.

agree it sounds fungal. don't boil bra it'll kill the elastic. freeze.

also tea tree oil is amazing, it did for ds's athletes foot in no time.
