Detailed Answer:
hello,
thanks for the query with health care magic.

In context with your specific query regarding warmth under the breast , it is indeed a common finding that the creases at the base of the breasts when felt are comparatively warmer than the normal skin . reason is that the remaining skin is exposed to open and evaporation of sweat through glands takes place continuously and gives a cooler sensation over the skin but on the contrary , under the breasts, this mechanism is limited , so there may be sweat and warmth together as evaporation is hindered. Such an environment makes the skin more vulnerable to fungal attack and may present with "thrush", which would be itchy and can further increase the warmth in that area.

if there is no itching or any lesion underneath your breast, you can just stand reassured and just practice regular cleaning and wearing loose inners and clothes.
i hope the answer helped.
