Hello,

Its very common to have yeast infection under your breasts, groin and underarms. You must treat it with oral and topical anti-fungals. Along with oral Fluconazole also start applying Ketoconazole cream twice a day for 7-10 days. Also use a mild Hypoallergic soap for washing your body.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dermatologist Dr. Dr. Kakkar's  Response
Hi,

Pain and hardness under the areola suggests that there could be a focus of infection. I suggest you to take an oral antibiotic e.g. either Amoxycillin or Cephalexin, thrice daily for a week.

In addition, I suggest you to use an OTC topical antibiotic e.g. either Neosporin Ointment Or Mupirocin ointment, twice daily for a week.

Hope I have answered your query.
