I'm going to rip my boobs off

I have had a bad rash on them, mostly the left one, as well as above them in the center of my chest for days now. It itches so freaking bad, but I'm doing my best not to scratch them since I tend to scar badly. I'm thinking it's a heat rash since it doesn't look like PUPPPS. I thought it was going away, but now it seems to have spread.

Anyone else have anything similar going on? I don't have another OB appt for 12 days, and it's not like I can email my doctor a picture to get their input. That would be great if I could though.

    No rashes here....knocks on wood....have you tried cornstarch to help keep things dry?

    I'm not hot or sweaty at all which is the weird part. I keep my house at around 65 degrees, and I sleep with a fan blowing on me.

    Weird! I would put a soothing ointment on. Maybe even like a zinc oxide ointment to tey and keep it from spreading? Have your boobs grown making them rub together more or something?

    I keep ending up with claw marks all over my boobs from the itching.

    Usually when I get a rash, it's a heat rash on the underside, from the sweat and moisture. Those days I'll stick pantiliners in my bra and it does the trick, but that doesn't seem like it would help in your case.

    No rash, just super itchy from the heat & skin stretching. I've use hydrocortisone cream, which helps a little bit. Thankfully I am in a somewhat private office so I can sneak a scratch in now and then!

    I don't ever wear a bra so that wouldn't help. The rash is only on the tops and inside of my boobs with the rash being way worse on my left boob.

    @babydoll22308 They don't rub together at all.

    I think I have some hydrocortisone cream somewhere around here. I may try that or some calamine lotion.

    Thanks for the responses ladies. I am thankful none of you have this stupid rash. It sucks and looks bad.

    Does it look like tiny white heads? If so it's called atopic dermatitis and I had it. I put eucerin cream in it for about a week and it went away. Very itchy and unattractive! But it will go away! Good luck.

    My daughter has severe atopic dermatitis, and it is similar. However, I think it may be my numular eczema flaring up. I didn't think about that since my flare UPS are always on my arms.

    I now have a patch of rash on my stomach. WTH?

    I have had rash on and off this whole pregnancy. It pops up in different places. Between and under my breasts, crooks of my arms, belly, back, and bikini line. I have been using lotrimin and it helps a lot.
