Candida Infection: Sweating under the breast predisposes to yeast or fungus infection. Moistness under the breasts is ideal for fungus to thrive and spread and it can also lead to secondary infection and foul odor you can use over the counter antifungal cream and if does not help get it checked from your doctor. Preventive measure keep the area dry wear loose fitting clothes of natural fiber can use a soft cotton pa.
