It is an embarassing question but need
help. Due to sweating a lot and being
overweight I have areas of skin that have
broken down. Usually these areas heal
quickly with just some powder but this
seems the worst I have ever seen. It
is under my breasts and areas like the
bikini line. It has gotten better some
but am still experiencing much pain from
it and it is just plain gross. I have
tried regular powder, caladryl powder and
some ointment with calamine in it but I
just can't seem to get it to heal and it's
starting to freak me out a bit. I
welcome any useful information.

I would avoid any form of powder other
than one which is based
on corn starch. When most powders become
moist from sweating
than clump together and make things
worse.
One you get the areas under control I
recommend you regularly
treat the areas with a mild skin softening
cream to help avoid
future problems

I'll bet monistat works too, cause my
mother-in-law had that problem and it was
yeast and she got a yeast cream from her
