Title: Sweat Rash
Post by: mazzy on July 08, 2013, 05:16:52 PM

Hi Everyone

Has anybody ever had a sweat rash under their breasts.  Its driving me up the wall.  I have tried nearly everything and had creams off the GP, the GP even gave me Spray for athletes foot to try on it but to no avail.


Can anybody suggest anything.  I am willing to try anything now.

Desperate!!!!!

Hi Mazzy  :)never had this problem, but if cream from GP did not help I would go back, maybe he could refer you to dermatologist, hope someone can come up with with some help in the meantime, I usually use just vaseline for sore skin..xx

Have you tried Daktarin cream. My sister uses this for that purpose. She also used surgical spirit to dry things off but only for a short while.

Hope you get some relief soon.

Johnson's baby powder.  Sprinkled whilst laying down and allowed to settle.  Heat rash is different to athelete's foot rash which Mycil would ease - again sprinkled whilst laying down  ;)

Thanks everyone.  Have been to the chemist this morning and asked the Pharmacist about it.  He suggested Lanacane powder, so brought some to try.  Fingers crossed it works, if not its back to the GP

mazzy, i find it very good. A few years ago in dubai it was extremely hot and is had an awful itchy rash under my boobs and lanacane was brilliant very cooling on the skin and as its medicated it cleared the rash up quickly.  kerrie
