spots where a wire from a bra would hit, but the thing is i have been wearing a sports bra that does not have a wire all summer. anyway they don't hurt and they only slightly itch every now and then. i have heard that you can get yeast infections under your breast but i don't know what the symptoms are. please tell me anything you know on this subject.
i thought maybe it was a rash but it's like the patches are hardly even raised up. in some places my skin is flat and not raised up even the slightest bit.

its probably just chafing from the heat and the sports bra and sweating and all , when by yourself try to air them out some or try some corn starch , my mom had this same problem.

Its very common for women to get yeast infections under their breasts, especially if you are a large breasted gal. Try an athlete's foot powder, such as Dr. Scholl's foot powder. You'll want to avoid sports bras and wear a good supportive bra that will lift your breasts up, because when you wear anything that lets your breasts rest against your skin, you risk irritation. You want to keep that area dry as possible as well. Try applying a little deodorant/antiperspirant under your breasts, but only after the irritation is gone. Try this for a few days, and it will go away.
However, if it does not go away, see your doctor, because he would be able to write a prescription for a stronger antifungal powder or cream.

This could be a whole lot of things, rashes are the most general and hardest to treat of all skin conditions. This doesn't sound like it is too serious. You might want to try a cream or lotion to keep your skin moist, but if the rash persists I would suggest a trip to the doctor for professional evaluation of you condition.

Eczema patients can avoid scratchy fibers for softer ones like bamboo, cotton, or silk, which are gentler on the skin. Opting to buy organic fibers can also be a wise, healthy, and eco-friendly alternative. Learn here https://tr.im/lwO8q

it could just be a heat rash, especially if you've been sweating a lot. also, if you use powder under your breasts, that can cause a bit of chaffing
