what about using desitin, or a&d ointment

I have this same problem, including a few other areas (underarms, tummy, etc.) and found a GREAT remedy!! Monistat has a micro-fine Medicated Powder / Skin Protectant called SOOTHING CARE --
For Everyday : Odor Control, Moisture Control, Chafing, & Irritation. It is Talc & Fragrance Free. You can buy it at most drug or grocery stores in the feminine products area.
**I have used it for a few years now, and love it. It literally gives instant relief from the irritation and burning, and heals the chafing overnight. GL

Chafing Under Breast

Unscented talcum powder or plain old cornstarch during the day works well for chafing. Some people wear their bra at night. Don't do this. Go natural. Also, try a zinc based ointment like Zincofax at night. Before using talc or ointment, wash the area first with warm water to which a little bit of epsom salt has been added. This works wonders.

I work in a nursing home, and we deal with this all the time. The best thing we find is to prevent skin breakdown is cornstarch. Apply it with cotton balls, in the morning. Once there are already open area present, apply a barrier cream such as zincofax, to help heal it. If this doesn't work, the rawness may be caused by yeast, and you may need to buy an antifungal product, such as Canestin. Don't use cornstarch if the area is open, it can irritate it more. If the rash is being caused by yeast, the cornstarch will actually feed it.

Agree with "MissTexas". You need to keep the area clean and dry. You can use any antiperspirant under your breasts and it will help the problem significantly. Make sure you're wearing cotton undies. Natural fibers will wick the moisture away from the skin and let it dry. You can also use corn starch for those areas. Good luck.

I've seen a commercial for that stuff several times you should go to like a regular grociery store and ask the pharmacist. There is some type of lotion for what your describing. I'm a dude so naturally I didn't pay attention to the name of it buy I know you can get it over the counter.

Depending on your severity... baby powder for every day usage and the medicated powders for healing if it necessary,however,it burns if your skin is chafed. Any thing with talc will aid in reducing any chafing and aid in absorbing any sweat. Good Luck !

I am a serious A cup. I am not happy with how small they are but since I have a tall and very slim form I've come to realize that I would look worse with big implants.
