Rashes under the breast is quite common in women who have large breasts or are overweight. Also referred to as intertrigo, this is best characterized as irritation that appears under the fold of the breasts. There are many reasons for rashes to appear under the breasts such as constant sweating, ill-fitting bra, and even lack of air circulating between your skin and clothes. Food allergies can also contribute to the problem. That said, you are probably thinking of how you can alleviate the irritation to get some relief. Here are few remedies that may help solve the problem safely.

Aloe vera

Another remedy that can help reduce the rashes under your breasts is to apply the gel of aloe vera on the affected area. You can harvest the gel from the leaf of the plant then apply on the rashes to help soothe the itching and inflammation. Leave it on for 20 minutes then rinse with cool water. You will need to do reapply the gel 2 to 3 times in a day until the rashes clear up.

Lemon

You can also use lemon water to help you deal with the rashes, but you will need to dilute the lemon juice first before applying on the affected area. The vitamin C that is present in the lemon juice works as an antibacterial that can help clear up the area as soon as possible.
