Medical exam : You need to be seen by doctor to review the medications you are taking and to find the cause of what can be serious issue.

Question 2

could a neoplasm of uncertain behavior on skin of breast be cancer? i have to do biopsy frm each breast and one has skin changes like orange peel skin

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is possible: Breast cancer can show up on the skin surface especially if it is locally advanced and has been present for sometime. But the biopsy of the tumor/ skin nodules will provide the final answer.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Get evaluated: You need to have this checked. It may just be some inflammation at your age, but we never take any chances with breast abnormalities.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Get it checked soon.: Do not spend any more time wondering.  What you describe is potentially concerning for cancer.  Hopefully it will be something less serious, and more likely it will be less serious, but do not delay getting it checked.

Question 5

between my breast my skin looks like its cracking. its dry and its peeling. and it's dark. can you tell what that is?

Accepted Answer

Reaction: This could be a reaction to chronic skin irritation from your bra. A dermatologist is best qualified to evaluate and treat you for this problem.

Question 6

i have a small rash between my breasts that is itchy and looks like a patch of small blisters. it also is peeling. should i be worried.

Accepted Answer

No: But you may want to see a dr for diagnosis and treatment.

Question 7

my skin is peeling from under my breast and looks like a rash i wanted to know what type of ointment to put on or should i seek my doctor?

Accepted Answer

Rash could be fungus: This could be a fungal or yeast infection in a warm, moist, area of constant skin-skin contact and irritation. Or it could be a simple heat rash or mechanical irritation. You can safely try topical lotrimin (clotrimazole) (over-the-counter), which will work great if it is fungal, and do no harm if it is not. Otherwise, if it doesn't respond to lotrimin (clotrimazole), treat this like heat or diaper rash. Good luck! dr. Tholen.

Question 8

why is the skin between my breasts peeling?

Accepted Answer

Intertrigo?: One common cause of redness and peeling is a condition called intertrigo, which is an inflammation of the body folds, in warm, moist areas. The main treatment is to keep the area as dry as possible.

Question 9

i'm peeling under my breasts and on my stomach, but i didn't have a sunburn?

Accepted Answer

Candida: Chances are you have a yeast overgrowth called candida, which loves warm, damp areas such as the area under breasts. See a dermatologist to confirm this and get a prescription for a cream to get rid of it.

Question 10

i have sunburns on my breasts from a tanning bed. how do i keep it from peeling?

Accepted Answer

Moisturizer: While the best option is to avoid tanning beds and excess sun exposure, if you choice to tan your chest, it is important to use proper skin care. This includes a good moisturizer and perhaps chilled aloe vera. The safest option to improve the color of your skin would be to use a bronzer or spray tan. I have done laser resurfacing on a number of female patients who developed sun damage from tanning.
