Dry rash under breast in the folds
Hi,
I suddenly have developed a rash/dryness under my breast, In the folder. It's not very itchy but it does itch. There's mild redness and it burns sometimes when I touch it. The itching and dryness gets better when I apply moisturiser but it has not improved. There's white skin like dry skin now. It was not there earlier. Please let me know what this is. I have attached a pic. I'm traveling and need to get better soon. Thank you.

It seems to be fungal infection. Body folds are prone to fungal infection due to body warmth and if the area is sweaty. Keep area dry and clean. Avoid tight and syntheic, wet clothes.
