Painful problem...

meljas05

I doubt this has anything to do with my bra, since i've never had a problem in the past, but I'm in some fricken pain. ?Under my right breast I have some sort of irritation--think little blisters, and lots of redness. ?It hurts really bad. ?I don't know what to do-- i've been trying neosporin. ?i really need a bra on (nursing, and i hate going without anyways)... ?also, my whole breast hurts, especially when nursing. ?i don't know what to do! ?any suggestions??? ??

Is the irritation from the same bra?  I thought I heard something awhile back about Victoria Secret bras that were causing women to blister and have irritated skin.  Maybe someone else knows more?

One of my bras started buggin me (right side, too).  Can you maybe switch to a nursing tank and see if that helps?  Are the bras underwire?

Try cornstarch. I had a friend who was dealing with [what sounds like] the same thing and it turned out to be some sort of yeast infection. I know it sounds strange, but she said cornstarch cleared it right up.

It sounds like a yeast infection. Try lotrimin cream.

If it is yeast, the LAST thing you should use is cornstarch-- starch feeds yeast and you will never get rid of it.
