Hi!
I really appreciate your concern. Nothing to worry about it.
Apparently it looks like a fungal infection involving the area around your bra line.
Use Clotrimazole or Terbinafine ointment on the affected area two times daily and keep it dry after using the ointment for atleast 6-8 hours. Hopefully it will work.
Regards!
