Itchy Patch On The Skin, Spreading To Other Parts Of Upper Body After Jogging. Yeast Infection?
Hi, I jog and I noticed an itchy patch right under my sports bra after I run. There is no rash but it itches all day and the itch sometimes spreads to other parts of my upper body. Could this be yeast from sweating but with no rash??? It s been off and on for weeks...when I put on a sweater it drives me crazy! Sometimes my chest gets flushed but I never have a true raised rash!

Hi,
Due to exercise you get perspiration.
Due to perspiration,you get fungal most probably candidal infection.
And so the severe ithching.
Sprinkle anti fungal powder before going to jogging.
Apply antifungal cream like clotrimazole cream.
Take antifungal tablet like ketoconazole for 1 to 2 weeks.
You will be alright.
If needed, you may consult dermatologist.
Thanks.
