rash
My colleague has a terrible red rash underneath her breasts. She is over 50 and has even bought new bras to alleviate the problem but to know avail. Any ideas as to what can be causing this upset? or should she go and see her GP?

Joan, it sounds like it might be due to a superficial fungal infection and it is called tinea cruris. The best would be to get something like Travocort® and apply it twice a day for a week. If it doesn’t clear up (or if it gets worse) the best would be to see your doctor or a dermatologist. Good luck.
