It’s just where the crease is under my saggy old boobs.Could it be thrush / fungal? I have some canesten cream I could use.

Conotrane works, too. I took terbenafine until it affected my liver. Have been given cortisone, but it does nothing.

I found just washing with warm water and drying thoroughly three times a day, was most effective for me. And wearing cotton bras.

Pure cotton pjs too.

Anything harsher, even mild bodywash just made it worse.

Does it feel moist and raw? If so, then likely fungal. Big thumbs up for canaston.

I got this after the hot weather!!! Thankfully it's cleared up although the skin is a bit dry still!

It's called Interigo and is a fungus type infection. Search out on line a anti fungus body wash to prevent it, but use Canestan/Daktacort type cream to reduce redness and hopefully stop it weeping. After showering etc do not rub with towel to dry but use hair dryer on cold or stand in front of a fan holding your boobs up to dry thoroughly
