I exercise and I have a lot of small pimples under my breasts. What cream should I use?

Question

I get a lot of little pimples under my breasts. I work out 3 to 4 times a week, so I suspect it might be related. I'm just wondering if I can get them to go away with moisturizer (regular or with vitamin E) or if I need another kind of cream? Great thanks a lot :)

Hello, The presence of pimples or redness between the folds under the breasts can be caused by several reasons. A fungal component is frequently seen since this is an area of the body that can be more humid than others, especially if you are physically active. A moisturizing cream, such as Aveeno's colloidal oatmeal cream, can help relieve itching if you have it. You can try an antifungal cream, such as clotrimazole 1% cream applied twice a day under the breasts for a week. Finally, continue to practice good personal hygiene. Try as much as possible to keep this area dry and clean and change your shirt if necessary. Have a good day, Samantha Hui, pharmacy student Supervised by Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
