You didn't specify if you were diabetic. If you are, this will be a common thing. Get some over-the-counter triamcinolone cream (for fungal infection) or a cream for yeast infection and apply twice daily. Also ask doctor about Diflucan. One pill nightly for 1 to 2 nights will clear it up. Used to do skin care notes for diabetics and also am one myself. Not too many problems myself but it is very very common. It can be an aggravation but you can get rid of it. The Diflucan will have a long-term effect. Might have blood sugar checked if this continues.

No, I am not a diabetic. I am using hydrocortisone. It drives me crazy sometimes. I will call my doctor on Monday.

You are probably experiencing intertrigo - Lena

Clotrimazole cream should help. It is the active ingredient in products like Lotrimin. The brand-name creams tend to be very pricey and come in small quantities, but Walmart has their own brand in a larger tube than the brand names for about $5. You can find it in the footcare section (where the Dr. Scholl's products are).

Other than treating regularly with clotrimazole, keep the area clean and dry. Powder will likely help, but try to find the kind made without talcum as talcum has a similar effect on the lungs to asbestos. Medicated cornstarch-based baby powder would be a good choice.

It will take a few days to clear the existing infection, but regular care should keep it at bay.

I hope you are feeling better soon.

another rash - yuck

Had a rash in my arm pit of all places, finally went to the doctor and he said do not use hydrocortisone or neosporin, but forget the reason for that. Did say use a powder like Gold Bond to keep it dry.

more likely than not it is .... - alias

a yeast infection, which can occur in moist areas of the skin, mouth, etc. and not just within the womanly areas. I have experienced this myself. A yeast infection cream should take care of it.

Intertrigo/Rash - JEP

Got the best results with ketoconazole cream and Bactroban. If your doctor gives you Lotrisone, don't use it more than 1 week--the betamethasone in it will break down the integrity of your skin. Once you get the rash under control, use Gold Bond Ultimate Comfort Body Powder (about 5 dollars) in a white container. I've been pretty much free of the problem for 4-5 years now.

Yes, under the fat fold...sorry for the visual - sm - metooMT

It is just a yeast infection. I use an anti-fungal cream, any for athletes foot will work. Instant relief. Takes only 1-2 days to clear with the cream. As advised below try to keep the area clean and dry. I am not diabetic either and only have this happen when it is very hot and humid and I have been sweating a lot, maybe 2-4 x a summer. It also happens under my bra bottom strap under the breast, have to go braless at least a day when that happens, luckily that only happens maybe once a 1-2 x in the summer as well.

I used to get the inefection under the breats - in the summer.

I have actually found that putting deodorant there in the summer actually prevents it. Perhaps this would work in other places.

Another trick is to use the hair dryer - on those nooks and crannies

I'm a large woman and I use the hair dryer on my stomach and under my breasts - just lift them up and blow dry the area and do the same with the panniculus. It makes a big difference and helps keep everything dry.

Any medical students or nurses out there, I have a rash that doesn't itch, but is very ugly between my thighs. I am working, but i don't have insurance and I need to see a dermatologist. i am afraid it will snowball because if I go in and get diagnosed, what is the medicine going to cost? Or what if it is something that i need to be hospitalized or something? It is red and patchy and there is a lot of it. I also have it under one breast. I have tried psorr ...

Hi everyone-I have a really annoying medical condition and am wondering if anyone has had the same thing. I am 54, 5 years of menopause under my belt. I have pretty much stopped with the hot flashes, insomnia and extreme mood swings (hubby is happy). Roughly 18 months ago I started deveoping random areas with hives controlled by antihistamines. A year ago I developed vulvodynia (so painful!) and started using small doses of premarin vaginal cream twice a week. It successfully kept it under cont ...

Anyone got good skin rash remedies? I've had a rash on my left forearm for several YEARS.... it waxes and wanes, but is always dry and plaque-like. Very similar to psoriasis, but my arthritis is osteo, not inflammatory, so I'm pretty sure it's just some form of eczema. It's sometimes dry and scaly, sometimes weepy (especially when I scratch too much) and has become scarred as a result. I've tried everything: Cortisone creams, dry skin creams, ant ...

I have tried everything from throwing out my masacara, eye shadows, and eye liners and buying all new. I've replaced my jar of foundation with a new jar. I've been putting hydrocortisone cream on it twice a day and still it doesn't go away. I tried Benadryl cream, a cornucopia of moisturizers and it doesn't get better. It peels, itches and burns sometimes, but mostly it's just plain ugly. I'm fair skinned and if I go without makeup, all ...

Since court cases are often won by arguing preponderance of the evidence, it may prove useful to draw attention to these everyday situations each time they happen, as was suggested in an earlier post. Alabama is one of those states that does NOT have an "opt-out" gun law in place for such institutions as businesses, schools, hospitals and other public gatherings who wish to circumvent existing lax concealed carry law by declaring a "gun-free zone" policy and posting a sign. In most states ...
