Hi
The two most likely causes of your skin discoloration are intertrigo and acanthosis nigricans.Intertrigo is a fungal rash that forms under breast. It is mostly a form of irritant dermatitis.The most common causes of such rashes are excessive sweating, heat, lack of air circulation, and wearing an ill-fitting bra that rubs against the breasts.use Zeasorb-AF powder for few days,Consult a dermatologist.
