Breast rash

[Megan_Cherry]

I have this rash under my breasts and now it is creeping up between them. I have stoped wearing a bra and use tea tree oil on it (which stings). My midwife said that it was yeast. I'm not even bf yet. I hope it does not get worse when dd arrives (any day now).

Any one have any other suggestions of how to get rid of it? I'd hate to start out bf with a case of thrush. UGGHHHH!

Make sure to keep the area dry, give it as much air as possible.

I had PUPPPS with my first after we delivered (it's more common during pregnancy) that started out on my breasts that we thought and treated as thrush. Boy were we wrong.

I hope, for your sake, that it is yeast and not PUPPPS.

Heat rash maybe? I agree on trying to stay dry any way you look at it.

Try putting some Desitin on it and air it out.

Would burt's bee's diaper ointment work the same as Desitin?
I spend alot of time topless in frount of a fan, which seems to help.

I'm sure it would. Anything with zinc oxide in it should help. Good luck.

I used to suffer from rashes like prior to getting my breast reduction years ago.
