Brief Answer:
Fungal infection

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Probably you have developed fungal infection.
Breast area is common for development of such infections.
I treat such cases with a topical antifungal powder like clotrimazole to be applied twice daily for a month.
It is safe and effective.
If possible upload a photograph of the involved area.
This will help me in giving a closer diagnosis and better way of management.
Waiting for your response.
Thank you.
