I had the worst rash all over my chest and along my band line. i ended up breaking out in hives all over my body it got soo bad. I'm allergic to 3 different Victorias Secret bras. My doctor sent me to the hospital, they ended up putting me on steroidal lotions, 2 different ones- westcort cream and triamcinoline. they worked. My rash is back with a different bra now. Does anyone know a brand that  won't do this???

I too had a horrid reaction to a bra I bought from Victorias secret. I went two months with pain, rash and cracking nipples. I didn't know what it was and tossed all my bras. I was a mess and went to the doctors. After a month of rash I noticed swelling and lumps on the side of my left breast. I went for a mamogram and they found cysts on that side and they had to be drained. I know that this is common with woman but they were so swollen from the bra I am convinced it had something to do with it. At one point I convinced myself I had pagents disese because of my nipples. I don't know what to do about all this.

I have had not red rash or any irritation other then about a month ago I went to the doctors because I was experiencing a lump and major pain under my right arm in my lymph nodes.  The pain was so intense I could not lift up my right are or even apply any pressure to it.  My doctor put me on medication to help with the pain because I too have a cysts.  I have to have it drianed.  I'm thinking now that it was from my Victoria's Secret bra.

My daughter has been having these rashes and welts around her bra areas for some time now.  I just heard about the Victoria Secret rashes and now we know for sure that it is the bra.  That is all she wears.  I just called them and I am waiting to hear back.  Has anyone else done this?
