BREAST ODOR

[babyrequel]

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 this odor also. I have tried slot of things.i tried deodorant but with it mixing with the sweat gave off a rancid odor. One lady said to me I have a perculior odor. It seems only in summer I get it. I tried lemon juice it works wonders but after a few days of it I would get like a burn cause lemon juice is acidic.I also used a diaper rash powder called cure rash for a while it worked but isn't affective like it used to be with the odor. I too am so frustrated as I use a fresh bra daily. When I come home from work I change it. I thought it was maybe my bras are old but it happened with a brand new bra.Now I am using the crystal spray deodorant. It works but sometimes if it is very humid it fails to stop the odor. I am at my wit's end. I hope they will find a permanent cure for this awful problem.

Hello ladies, I have a breast odor that I can't get rid of. Powders irritate my skin. What should i do? I am a custodian and sweat all day. Please would someone help me.

Try deodorant. The unscented kind for sensitive skin.

Believe it or not, you know what works to get rid of it? It's a fungus. Wash the area, and then rub on some SELSON BLUE each day...that's right, the dandruff shampoo in the blue bottle.  One or two days should do it. It gets rid of skin fungus. Too many days, and it starts to really dry out your skin though. I had to share this with you all. It helped me. Over the years, I've gotten more real help from others going through the same things sharing their experiences & suggestions than I have from any doctors. Please come back and let everyone know if you try it and it works for you too.

I've had this odor that smells kind of like vinegar in my cleavage & under my breasts where they're flopsy. I sweat a lot year round due to side effects from meds.,I've often wondered if it was yeast. You confirmed my thoughts. One thing I learned NOT to do that is recommended by some is putting deodorant under your breasts and in cleavage. It blocks pores & it will cause a bad rash under your breasts. I have Nystatin cream. Would that work?  I've used powders & the sweat just makes the powder all clump together. Thanks for the Nystatin advice. It is very helpful. I shouldn't complain because I've waited decades to have "cleavage to drop crumbs in". :)  I just didn't want it to be in my late 50's with weight gain.

I deal with the exact same issue and I'm a person who showers twice a day and wears wonderful smelling body spray(s).  You can buy Summer's Eve Douche POWDER and rub a little under your breasts after each shower. This will absorb the odor and keep you dry and fresh smelling there all day.  Don't use Shower to Shower though because it may cause a rash(happened to me) but Summer's Eve or ANY Douche Powder does the job effectively.

Witch hazel is what I found works and the easiest thing to use is Tucks hemorrhoid wipes. Plus it has pain killers in it which really help if your skin is raw but at first it stings like most things do before they kill the pain, but it instantly kills the smell. Hope this helps.

I have been having this problem also but its less of a sweat smell and more of infection. I do have a small rash under my left breast from I guess my bra and that's where the odar is. Anyone have THIS problem? So embarassed
