What Causes Sores Underneath Breast?
I have recently became sick and was in and out of the hospital for 3 weeks. I have been on several different meds after the last month. I am now just on Rantidine 300 and pantoprazole sod dr 40 mg. This last week I come down with sores underneath my breast. What can that be caused from?

Hello,
Sores on the skin are most likely to be herpes zoster infection. Physical examination can confirm the diagnosis. So please follow up with your primary provider. Initiating treatment with antiviral medications early can help with easy recovery and avoid complications.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
