Q: Acne/odor Between Breasts?

asked by: mermadem on October 24th, 2005

I have very large breasts. For the past few months I have had alot of white pin sized bumps under the skin between and under my breasts. I can squeeze them everyday (they seem to grow back overnight) and a whitsh/yellow comes out, which also has a foul odor. This odor is also noticeable if I run my finger between my breasts. It is very embarressing so I don't even want to be intimate with my boyfriend. I wash everyday with an antibacterial soap and use baby powder so I know it's not that I am unclean. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

I Have the Same Problem

I also have this problem. Its really worrying me. I take a shwer every day, and i've been putting neosporin and alcohol under and in between my breasts, but its still not doing anything. Any advice? I'm 5'2 and 115, so a little overweight. (for my height) maybe its the extra weight...

I have the same problem, I am wondering how to clear it up. I asked my doc about it and he said leave it alone it is just cysts, but when I did it got worse so now I don't. I want it to clear up as it is getting nicer out now. Help please.

amanda12,
I have the exact same symptoms as you. The odor between my breasts just started but I have had the odor around my bikini line and under my arms for a long time. I had several bacterial vaginosis infections, and now I am infection free but my pelvic area always smells bad...it comes from my skin. And now this stuff with btwn my breasts I am really freaked out. What did your doctor end up telling you? It is unbelievably embarrassing and I am constantly showering so my boyfriend doesn't think I'm disgusting. Please help!

I Have the Same Problem Too

I also have larger breasts. My do has put me on several rounds of antibiotics to no avail.He also doesn't seem to think it is as big of a deal as I do as I have to continually remind him of my problem or he also ignores my comments.Has anyone found out any news or home remedies? I to am embarrassed to be around my husband or have him near me.It is putting a strain on our relationship.

I have this same problem, and it is very strange. I went to the doctor, and she gave me a topical acne treatment, but it has done nothing for me. This is very embarrassing and I am desperate for help.
