BREAST ODOR

HELLO EVERYONE,

RECENTLY IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THERE IS A BODY ODOR LIKE SMELL WHICH IS COMING FROM MY BREAST. I DO HAVE A BIGGER CHEST, BUT I AM VERY CLEAN NONE THE LESS. I ASSUMED THAT THIS ODOR MAY BE PRESENT DUE THE FACT THAT IT IS THE SUMMER AND I TEND TO SWEAT MORE, BUT I NOTICED IT AGAIN ON FRIDAY AT WORK AND MY BODY WAS COMPLETELY DRY. I HAD TWO OF MY FRIENDS AT WORK, ONE MY BOSS, SMELL THE AREA AND THEY CONFIRMED.
MY QUESTIONS ARE:
1. IS THIS NORMAL FOR A WOMEN EVEN IF SHE ISN'T SWEATING?
2. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN TAKE OR EVEN APPLY TO MY BREASTS THAT IS SAFE AND WON'T AFFECT THE AREA.
THANK YOU ALL

I have the same issue and what I do is wash with dial anti bacterial soap, then make sure its dry and apply hydrogen peroxide.. which eats the yeast..you should see some bubbling.. (side note peroxide also works great for external itching for yeast infections) I then dry again and add athletes foot cream.

Hi! I do have the exact odor, kind of vinegar and sourish. The doc said its yeast infection and gave anti-fungal cream, but it doesnt work at all since i am using it. So i would be very glad if someone could explain why its not going away and why is it happening now? It started a year ago and i am 30 now, my breast size always was the same and i never had this issue ever before. So whats the reason??? Please help!

My gynecologist told me a year or two ago that the new research suggests using a powder called "Zeasorb", which actually helps to absorb the moisture.  Most powders just cake up & are not absorbent.  I couldn't find Zeasorb at my drugstore, but it can be ordered on line.  It does help keep me from getting a bright red rash under my breasts & if I wash twice a day and apply morning & night, I don't get the odor.

Try putting deodorant on when you get out the shower, under your breast and in between them, then apply baby powder, this seem to help me a whole lot!

You are a true gem and your girlfriend is a lucky woman. Most of us, I'm sure, know what pheromones are and believe me, what we are talking about is not the pheromone scent. Think about it. Why would only women who have large breasts have a pheromone scent. Don't small breasted women need love too? I've been both small breasted and large, breast-fed 2 out of 3 babies, been skinny and "not so skinny". Through it all, the only time I've ever experienced this odor has been just the last few months and believe me, that's long enough. I wish it were pheromones!
