A member asked:
I have brownish/ red spots underneath my breasts (on my chest) which do not hurt and aren't particularly raised up but have been there a while?

Possible yeast: The area you describe often stays moist from general sweating and occulsion from your bra, which is a great enviroment for fungal infection, Candia or tinea versicolor or the same fungus that causes athlete's foot. Alternatively, mild inflammation from chronic friction from clothing can result in post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Try an antifungal cream like clotrimazole.
