Suggest Remedy For Yeast Infections On Under-fold Breast Region

I have a red, raw line along the whole under-fold of my breast. Had red ring/yeast infection on underside of other breast 2 weeks ago....now the left side is raw all along the fold. I have applied Nystantin, and another steriod/yeast cream...nothing helping so far. What should I do?

Hello Madam,

Welcome to Health Care Magic. I read carefully your query and I understand your concerns.

The condition you are describing is called "intertrigo", which is characterised by a rash that shows up between the folds of skin.
Being that you are already on steroids and anti-fungal medications, I would recommend you start an unguent with zinc oxide, which is used for relief of rash.
For further prevention and for quicker relief of the actual condition i would recommend you to shower and dry off thoroughly each day and apply a drying powder. Keep your skin as dry and cool as you can, avoid wearing clothing and wear a bra with good support.

Hope I answered to your question. Don't hesitate to ask again.

Kind regards,
Dr. Ina Zaimi
