Help with itching under breasts?!
Question: I have large breasts and they often itch underneath; it is a warm, moist, dark place so I suppose a perfect place for fungi to grow. My doctor told me to use athlete's foot powder as an antifungal. Does this work? Are there better methods? Would this also cure a yeast infection under the breasts if this is what the problem is?

Yes, the athletes foot powder will more than likely work. Athletes foot is a fungal infection and so is a yeast infection. I get the same symptoms, but probably not to the same extent since I am not that well-off :). Under your breasts it is dark and can get moist which is a perfect place for bacteria and fungus to grow.
BTW. Please do not listen to the person who said to put deodorant under there!
why not find a good moisturizer to rub on yourself after you have a bath
yes, it is very likely that would work, after it heals up, use regular baby powder as a barrier, and try to keep the underneath area dry. Good Luck
try putting like arm pit deodorand under them. i know my pits get itchy if i don't put it on.
its worth a shot.
Do you allow your skin to breathe? I know a lot of girls with a bigger chest who are constantly in their bras... do you take it off to sleep? I would recommend letting your skin breathe as much as possible, and the suggestion your doctor made about using the powder sounds like it would help. If it's a yeast infection, I think that's more serious.. you might need a prescription for that.
