  • Hello Rosiepie and thanks for your post,

    I am sorry to hear that you are feeling anxious about your breast.

    GP's are experienced at looking at breast conditions and I am sure that if they were concerned they would consider referring you to a breast clinic for more tests.

    We can't diagnose you but you may find it helpful to look at the NHS information on  intertrigo . I would try and make sure that the area under the breast is dried really well after a shower or bath to stop any irritation. You may find using a gentle soap such as simple may stop any irritation.

    If the symptoms don't clear up then do go back and see your GP.

    I do hope this helps.

    All the best,

    Catherine
