usually sticks out of plumbers pants). i go tanning and have hints of psoricies. also shower daily, but when it gets to be 10 hours after i shower it comes back. i can just rub under my boobs and skin just clumps up and peels off....what can i do? i don't think it's from tanning because this was going on before tanning, but then i started and it stopped for a week or 2, but now it's back!

Try buying some new soft underwear and see if it helps.

This has happened to many of us, any where from rashes, bumps, peeling skin, chaffing.
It may be from tanning, but keep in mind especially summer, we sweat within these areas more than anywhere because air is not able to get to these areas trapping in moisture, causing chaffing, rashing, and itch- even discomfort and sometimes pain.
For the flaking of skin you may try a palmers cocoa butter cream (you can get this at any drug store or even walmart) rub into the area after showering- also make sure the area is completely dry prior to moisturizing. If you rash up you may try want to try to use Gold Bond powder which reduces itching, drying, rashes, etc..
Please be advised to keep the bra area dry as possible when wearing a bra (moisturize at night when you are not wearing one)- reason being is this can easily become a bigger problem such as shingles. My mother is 72 with Parkinson's- she began with itching, flaking then rashing and landed with shingles which in time become painful.
Here is some tips if this becomes more an issue leading up to rashes and shingles-
Mix 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar with 2 cups of water. Moisten a clean cotton face-cloth with this solution. Wring slightly and rub affected area with the moist towel upwards towards the heart after the shingles attack subsides and the blisters dry up. Repeat this procedure for an hour daily, as needed.
Dust colloidal oatmeal powder on the parts of the body where clothes rub against your skin. This may reduce pain.
Apply aloe vera gel, raw honey, or fresh leek juice over the rash several times a day. You can also use hydrogen peroxide on infected blisters.
Sponge the following over the sores or apply as a cold compress:

Under wire bras cause cancer and so does tanning so you should reconsider what you are doing to your body and go see a Skin Specialist and hopefully you have not damaged your skin with all this tanning.

Ask your doctor to take a look at it. It may be a yeast infection and if so, it's easily treated by a steroid cream. I get them too, where the underwire in my bra rests. My doctor said it's pretty common because we have to wear our bras for so long every day.
