Once it starts cracking, regular baby powder usually doesn't work. Happened to my mom.Mon, 07 Jul 2008 11:47:16 GMTlovemrkhttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic424094-5-1.aspxHmmm I never considered it could be a yeast infection...will make drs appointment then</P><P>you ladies are so darn knowledgeable!Fri, 04 Jul 2008 15:37:12 GMTjen39http://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic424094-5-1.aspxI got that a few months after my son was born b/c my boobs grew so much. I used his diaper rash cream (zincofax) to clear it up and within a week it was gone.Fri, 04 Jul 2008 15:33:49 GMTStefy0722http://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic424094-5-1.aspxsounds like a yeast infection to me... I would go to your doctor.Fri, 04 Jul 2008 12:16:37 GMTaaikmanhttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic424094-5-1.aspxThis just recently happened to my mom, and it wouldn't go away. She knew the moisture was a problem, so she did try diaper cream rash, baking soda, etc. Finally gave in, went to see the nurse and taaa-daaa, it was actually a yeast infection :blink:<br><br>She had never had one on a normal place in her life, so this was completely new. Either way, I would get it checked out, because you never know.Fri, 04 Jul 2008 11:34:45 GMTmoodring16http://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic424094-5-1.aspxBelts, yeah, I wore an underwire bra instead of my sports bra...thats what instigated the original red and itchy-ness</P><P>eep! I hope its not the same infection!Fri, 04 Jul 2008 11:15:07 GMTjen39http://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic424094-5-1.aspxOww! A woman at my work got that and it turned out to be a infection and she had to take antibiotics to get rid of it. It won't go away on it's own if it's the same kind of thing:(Fri, 04 Jul 2008 11:09:47 GMTAdreahttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic424094-5-1.aspxJen, does your bra rub a lot under there? That might be what's causing the rash (well, with this heat and moisture). No suggestions other than what you're doing. Fri, 04 Jul 2008 11:08:41 GMTBeltsiehttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic424094-5-1.aspxOk so I'm a pretty large-chested gal, and this has never happened before. Under my boobs, I've got like a red itch rash deal going on. It happened after playing slow pitch one night, so I thought it was just a sweat thing or whatever, and took extra care to make sure I washed good after ball, and then I put baby powder on it that night before I went to bed (to absorb any moisture). that seemed to help, and I figured it would clear up</P><P>NOW the skin is cracking a bit and its still red and itch. I'm trying really hard to keep things dry under there, but in +30 heat, I sweat, I can't help it!! I've washed &amp; dried really well, and then I've tried baby powder, unscented lotion, and last night I bought (don't laugh!:D) diaper rash creme hoping that might help. Any other suggestions...sorry I know this is kind of a gross question!Fri, 04 Jul 2008 10:49:45 GMTjen39
