• Most likely fungal infection or sweat + friction–induced folliculitis • Common in areas like under breast & around navel due to moisture, heat, tight clothing • Itching + red bumps strongly favors fungal cause over acne Next Steps • Use antifungal dusting powder during daytime to keep area dry • Wash area with mild cleanser, dry completely before dressing Helpful Tips / Word of Caution: • Keep area dry & sweat-free (very important) • Wear loose cotton clothes, avoid tight bras / waistbands • Avoid steroid combination creams (can worsen fungal infection) • Change clothes after sweating • Do NOT scratch → can spread infection Kindly consult with me via Practo for detailed evaluation and treatment
