Since I lost 3 stones by big boobs are now in effect giant spaniel's ears

I read in a magazine a week ago that you can use white vinegar instead of fabric conditioner in your wash so I got some and for past week have washed all my clothes like this.

Last night i took my bra off and in exact same place under each boob was a big red area going down torso and just up over bottom of each boob.
I know its probably a fungal infection as I have had these before behind my knee and under my arm so have started the anti fungal cream.

I have now rewashed all my clothes and underwear to get rid of any vinegar residue that might but maybe not have triggered this.

I have a Dr appt anyway on thursday so will flash my spaniel ears at her and see if I am using the right cream etc.

anyone else get this type of problem?

     Its not really bothering me much just looked awful.  Its looking less angry tonight but bra is off and I have reapplied the cream.

Sudocrem helped me. If it's good enough for a baby's bottom, it's good enough for me!

I've used vinegar for years as I found my skin was better with that than even the 'sensitive' conditioners'.  It's always worth checking though if you develop a rash immediately after a product changeover.  But I'm wondering if it might be a heat rash of some kind? I get this under both breasts when I am hot.

So uncomfortable when you get this. I apply either E45 or sudocrem. The joys of having an ample bosom. Wish I still had my 32Bs instead of 36GG!

For 30 years I have used fairy non bio powder and fairy fabric conditioner so I imagine my skin has got used to it!  Bra's are tight and its a hot area so I guess the change to vinegar in the wash has been enough to affect my skin. I am prone to fungal infections and have excema in eyebrows and ears so def sensitive skin.

Thanks for sharing your experiences.

……… ooh heck - spaniel ears are hairy

Daktacort cream is good it is a hydrocortisone and fungal cream.

Talc is good - I use what ever is to hand if the weather is causing problems.

  CLKD no they are not hairy- oh well maybe the odd one or two that I chop off

I have psoriasis under my left boob - I use Femfresh powder under them to keep them dry and sweet-smelling (I'm a big girl, with big-girl boobs!), and if the scaly patch gets sore I use nappy rash cream.  Seems to work for me.

Another vote for E45 cream. I've found Johnsons baby powder to be very helpful in keeping an area like that dry too.
