i have this rash below my breast. it itches sometimes not bad though. It started whenever i got out of the tanning bed one day as a white swollen spot.. but it went away once whenever i put some hydrocortisol cream on it, but it came back. And it really helps whenever i get a shower, it almost goes away. Its Red with red dots and it almost looks shiny....

It may be a yeast infection. Yeast likes warm humid areas of the skin. Wear a good bra so that holds your breasts up and change your bra every day. The best anti-yeast medication to put on your skin is Lamilsil.

I know it comes in a cream but if you can find it as a powder, that would be better as it helps keep the area dry. Lamilsil is the only anti-yeast preparation for the skin that actually kills the yeast. If it is a yeast infection it should go away in a week if treated with Lamilsil.

Yeast infections of the skin can be treated with things like Lotrimin, also, but they don't kill the yeast, they only stop the yeast from multiplying. With these you have to treat the skin every day for a month.

The other thing it could be is scabies, but you would have to have caught this from someone.

If this doesn't clear it up You need to see a doctor.

sounds like sweat rash, a fungal infection, when there is friction between skin and the area is moist from sweat. Very common between and under the breasts, between thighs and buttocks. You need a cream with a antifungal and a hydrocortisone in it, like hydrozole or resolve plus 1%, get from your pharmacy. This will take away the itch and the redness and get rid of the underlying infection. The only thing is that you can't put hydrocortisone on broken skin so try hard not to scratch it (hard i know) Check what your bra's are made of, certain fabrics don't breath as well, synthetic usually, Try to go for cotton and use a powder in humid weather. hope that helps

maybe it's kind of bacterial or fungal infection. because the area under and between the breasts is humid and warm so those microorganisms like to be there. take a lot shower (minimum twice a day) and always change your underwear.

You may have Polymorphic light eruption

Or it can be a reaction to the heat of the tanning bed itself and you are toasting your skin. Check out the link below.

Take pictures and go to a dermatologist before it fades.
