I have a red rash under my left breast..I have had
it before and with neosporen is has disappeared.
It now has returned for over 2 weeks and I have tried
an over the counter cortezon1 cream and it has disappeared
some but still looks raw and is tender...it itches some
and if I touch it..it seems to sting a little.It is
always moist and damp in that area. Any ideas...

Dear TINA: A rash could be many different things but in the location you describe, it is unlikely to be breast cancer. Since the area is warm and moist, it is probably contributing to the difficulty healing. Since it has already been there 2 weeks and has not improved, you may want to schedule an appointment with your doctor or a dermatologist.
