A breast fungus is a common term for a fungal infection of the skin overlying the breast. It does not imply an infection of the deeper breast tissue. Fungal skin infections are common and the most affected sites are the feet (athlete’s foot) and groin (itch) although skin anywhere on the body can be affected. The area under the breast (inframammary fold) is particularly prone to fungal infections in women for a number of reasons that makes this region ideal for fungi to thrive.
A breast fungus may appear similar to other skin diseases and it is important that your doctor diagnose a skin fungal infection before commencing treatment. Using an antifungal ointment for a few months usually resolves the infection although oral antifungals may have to be considered in severe cases. A corticosteroid cream may be used if the itching and inflammation is severe but should be a short term measure. The affected area may become dry and start cracking or peeling and a suitable emollient may be necessary.
A prolonged fungal infection under the breast usually causes a dark discoloration of the skin which may not resolve spontaneously . This can be quite distressing for most women and it is therefore important to attend to a breast fungus as soon as it appears.
The following signs and symptoms are usually present: Itching under the breasts in the inframammary fold. Peeling, cracking and shedding of the skin. Red skin rash. Dark discoloration of the skin. Thin, clear discharge. Unusual musty odor under the breast. Sometimes the symptoms are not as obvious.
Most fungal infections require the skin to be compromised in some way for the infection to set it. Apart from tears in the skin caused by scratching or chaffing, pre-existing diseases like contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis or psoriasis especially around the inframammary folds can increase the chance of a breast fungus.
The infection can spread to eventually affect the top of the breast and even the cleavage. One of the consequences of a long term fungal skin infection is a dark discoloration of the skin which can be unsightly. ...
Sometimes the symptoms are not as obvious. Some women may only experience mild itching and a skin-colored ‘dust’ on the bra or upon scratching. The skin symptoms can extend beyond the inframammary folds to affect the breast and even the chest.
