Painful Red Bump Like Zits Under Breasts And Groin Area, Worsened Condition After Using Benzoyl Peroxide. Hygenic, Good Eating Habits. Advice

Good Evening, I get these red bump like zits or similar to them under my breasts and sometimes in my groin area.They can sometimes be painful especially if my bra rubs on them. I wear underwire and those without a wire and have not noitced a difference with the type of bra I wear. I have used benzoyl peroxide and that made matters worse, because I am allergic to that. I use a hypoallergenic laundry detergent and that hasn't changed anything. I shower daily and recently started using powder to keep those areas dry during the summer months. I have also changed my diet I eat mainly lean protein, vegetables, fruits and nuts. I rarely eat bread or dairy, and have been eating like this since February and these bumps have not gone away. Please help.
Thank You,
Heather Montes

Hi,
It seems that you might be some allergy to synthetic inner wears.
Wear cotton inner wears.
Avid wearing inners during night time.
Apply Zinc calamine lotion on affected parts.
Take antihistamine like Cetrizine or Benadryl for few days.
Ok and take care.
