I have had this before and usually put deoderant on in the hot weather and it keeps it from coming. But now I am covered with it on my chest and below the chest and it is driving me crazy! And soap and deoderant stings! What IS it???? Do I need to go to the doctor?

Sounds like a heat rash. Deoderant will only irritate it. Use baby powder on the area when you dress, change your bra every day until it goes away (I know it's a pain to wash them every day but it'll help) and when you're at home take your bra off and wear a cotton shirt, wipe the day's sweat off with a shower or cool rag every night (gently! don't scrub or it'll get irritated) and it'll go away in about 2 weeks.

Sounds like a heat rash. Put baby powder on or even try some diaper rash ointment. That should clear up the problem.

Might be a heat rash, but I'm not sure if heat rashes usually sting and itch. Possible allergy??

if you have large breast it may be a yeast infection try to get monistat 7 and clean the area well. apply a cool clean white cloth to the area to take out the heat . dry the area well and apply the monistat to the area after you get the rash cleared up use baby powder everyday to keep the moisture down good luck hope it works

May be it is caused because you're allergic to something and you haven't noticed it yet. And if it is driving you crazy go to the doctor, a dermatologist I'd say.

could be heat rash or chafing? maybe going to the doctor is a good idea. maybe your bra needs to be cleaned with a different detergent?

I get the same thing .... I was told it is the same as athletes foot . I was told to wash with ivory soap and use an anti fungal cream . ask your pharmacist which anti fungal cream is best .

Yes, you need to see a doctor not yahoo answers. Good Luck to you. I hope it clears up after seeing the Doctor.
