BREAST RASH? bumps, that are hard, red, & itchy about the size of my pinky nail if not a bit smaller?

it itches between my breasts too. i have 3 small ones on the right side of my ribs. once i start to scratch it's hard to stop. i've had it for a week, i've done some internet snooping and I'M SCARED IM GONNA DIE, please tell me if this is serious enough to go to my DR because i dont have that mouch money at the moment.

Sounds like a basic fungal rash. Go to walmart. Go to the footcare section. Get an orange and white tube of the antifungal cream by Equate brand. Use it for a week and see if it clears it up. You are not going to die. Breast cancers do not usually present with itchy rashes. If it does not clear up in a few days, see your doc. You would need a stronger cream or possibly an antibiotic. Warmer weather can mean fungal problems for women because of sweat sitting in your bra and just about anyone can develop responses in places where fat causes a crease. Nice warm sweaty place for a fungus to build a home.


Switch to a cotton bra and change it twice a day if you're sweaty or find a bra of a material that wicks away the moisture. Stay clear of fabric softeners.BREAST RASH? bumps, that are hard, red, %26amp; itchy about the size of my pinky nail if not a bit smaller?
i wouldn't worry too much. most of the time itching does not=death. pain does. if it doesn't clear up within a week or so, you should see a doctor.
it might be a light rash?
