A member asked:

I've had an itchy rash under my breasts for a few weeks now. i think it is from my sports bra since i run 5x a week. is this common? any remedies?

Dr. John Chiu answered

Yes: It may be from the rubbing (irritant) or a contact allergy to the rubberized part of the bra. If you sweat a lot, a monilial infection can cause a rash as well-in which case, try antiperspirant under the breasts on a regular basis.
