Fungal infection

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query,
You might have developed fungal infection.
The area under breast is very moist and is prone to develop these infections.
Treatment can be with oral antifungals as well as with topical antifungals.
Various antifungal powders like candid are available.
These can help reduce the moisture as well as control the infection.
You can try this powder.
You can also take an antihistamine tablet to reduce itch.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
Wishing you good health,
Thank you
