Intertrigo under breasts

Daktarin cream you can get it at boots it works.

A light swipe of solid stick antiperspirant under each breast crease is worth a try.

bepanthen works, medipure body powder, cotton bra liners help, a clean bra every day, a little vanish gold in the wash. Any of these

A friend of mine uses baby talc.

I swear by Argan oil, just one drop daily rubbed in each side keeps me clear all summer. I get very sweaty and used to get rashes, not any more!

I get that occasionally. I just put a clean hanky under my breast before I put my bra on. Seems to work

My doctor prescribed Canestan, which wasn't successful.
My friend, who is a nurse with 40 years experience, recommended Cuticura medicated talc, it cleared up the problem in a few days!
I have it on repeat order from A****n, a little every day after showering keeps the problem at bay.

I had this in the summer, ghastly. Got a cream from the doctor and some medicated talc which cleared it up. I too was thinking about a breast reduction but can’t be arsed now ?

I tend to get this from time to time and find Lanacane anti-chafing gel helps prevent soreness and rashes and is also very soothing.

Colloidal silver spray (from active silver) cures it - and athlete's foot too!

I've always been big-busted (G) but never had that problem. I ensure I wear the right sized bras, and they're always underwired. I shower every day and make sure the skin is completely dry. One of my friends has soreness and rashes under her breasts (she's H cup) and she uses Sudocrem.

Thanks I also get this but never thought to ask here for any remedy so I'm grateful someone else did

A basic anti fungal cream from any chemist is all that's needed. Best to apply it at the first signs of any itching or redness.

Athletes foot powder works. Nothing from the GP cleared it up for me when I had it years ago. Still use it a couple of times a week, just to be sure.

I thought that condition was caused by friction.
I get a sweat rash under my breasts (no friction involved) and found the solution last year on a trip to the Far East.
It is called Snake Brand Prickly Heat Powder. I would describe it as a talcum powder version of Vicks. After a bath and thorough drying I dust it on my creases, so under breasts, under c-section ledge and at the tops of my legs. Within seconds you feel as if you have been put into an air conditioned room. Wonderful.
The rash disappears in a week or so of regular application.
I couldn’t be without it now.

I use sudacream when I get the occasional patch of this. I think it works well because it sort of seals in the skin and gives it a chance to heal.

I do get this condition. Find that I need to treat it at the first signs. I use E45 cream. Smother are in it, and also keep small clean cloth with lots of this cream lathered on that against the damaged area. Usually take about 3- 5 days to completely clear.

I have had it, and have used Daktarin cream ( for athlete’s foot) which is anti fungal. Also tea tree lotion and soap is good too, as that too, is anti fungal.

Thanks for the advice everyone.

Get a prescription from your GP or you could be wasting time trying OTC remedies.

I've remembered the name.

Clotrimazole Cream 1% Fungal Treatment. Basically Canestan.

If it's fungal infection, Sudocrem etc won't clear it. I've tried!!

You could try nappy rash cream. I don't have intertrigo but get very itchy arms, drives me mad! I find Aven ( not sure of spelling) helps because it cools your skin. Might be worth a try!

There is an antifungal cream you can get without precription.
I can't remember the name. Sorry.

- before I go to Boots.

I have looked online but there are several remedies including steroid cream which I’d rather not use ,so I thought I’d ask for personal recommendations from fellow sufferers?
