Groin rash, now rash under boob - connected?

I've been struggling for six months now. Only GP phone appointments available. So I've had different emollients every month which didn't work. So back to sudocreme. Finally got estriol cream which has helped with other issues but not the itching.

Last night in bed found that under my boob was wet and smelt foul. Have showered and put on sudocreme.

Could it all be connected?

I hope you are sorted now OP but otherwise Nizoral shampoo works wonders (recommended by a dermatologist years ago). Dampen the skin, put some on, leave a minute and rinse off. Follow up with drying the area with a hairdryer (on cool) and follow with talc. Do not use on labia etc, only under boobs and in creases of legs etc

Once it's stopped being itchy and slimy, you can just use sudocrem or mertanium to get rid of the residual soreness

@Oldfatandfrumpy you're a 🌟.

Had a night without itching. Bliss.

It says in the instructions not to use daktakort for more than seven days. Is that right?

Sounds fungal or dermatitis. Speak to your pharmacist

Hi, I had rashes under my boobs and my muffin top 🙈 and in my groin. It caused cellulitis in my breast (I've had a lumpectomy and lymph nodes removed and radiotherapy) and had antibiotics 8 times in 10 months. No fungal creams touched it. Eventually, I went to see a private dermatologist and was told I have flexural psoriasis. He gave me medicated shower lotion, medicated shampoo (I have psoriasis on my scalp), but most importantly, Trimovate, which is antibiotic, anti fungal and steroidal. It was a complete game changer, and I've not had cellulitis or painful, weeping under boobs etc since
