Amazing Remedies for Rash Under Breasts

Amazing Remedies for Rash Under Breasts


What Causes Rash under Breasts?

There are many causes due to which a person can experience rashes under the breasts. Let’s have a look at them:

Excessive Sweating: Excessive sweating often leads to rash under breasts. It clogs the sweat ducts and hair follicles of the skin, which leads to irritated skin and rashes. The sweat builds up under the breast area and gets trapped there, making the rash worse.


Fungal Infection: Candida is a type of yeast or a fungus that thrives in warm, sweaty and moist areas of the skin, which causes a fungal rash under the breast. This type of rash is common among diabetic women because the glucose present in their perspiration and sweat accelerate the growth of yeast in the folds of the skin.


Bacterial Infection: A specific bacterium called Staphylococcus Aureus also causes a rash under the breasts. Due to this bacterial infection, you may also notice red and swollen pus-filled boils, furuncle or abscess under your breast area.


Scabies Mite: Another common reason for rash under the breast is the scabies mite. You may see reddish bumps appear under your breasts if you are attacked by the scabies mite. These are microscopic mites that can be transmitted through sharing of infected clothing, beds, blankets, or clothes. They can also be transmitted by skin contact with an infected person.


Allergy: Allergic reactions from chemicals in detergents or soaps or from acrylic and polyester brassieres can cause itching and rash under your breasts.


Wrong Bras: Wear 100% cotton bras, so that they soak the sweat and prevent allergies or infections from aggravating.  Wearing 100% organic cotton bras is ideal because they soak the sweat and keep your under-breast skin dry. 


Wearing a shapely supporting bra can give your breasts the lift that you need to prevent them from sagging and accumulating sweat in the folds below.
