| There has been an item on the letters page in the last two Osteoporisis Society magazines about soreness under breasts caused by curvature of the spine, which is allowing the skin under the breasts to become very hot and sweaty resulting in a sore rash. The first lady said that she had got some cream from the doctor but that the problem kept recurring. A follow up letter said to try tea tree cream, which is an antiseptic. I just wanted to post that I have had a similar problem and have both treated it and kept it at bay with a regular dusting of Cuticura talcum powder, which is mildly medicated. Also works well on the feet!! Hope this is helpful to any fellow sufferers

If it had not been for the tips from other people with OP I would never have found out 'how to sleep in comfort'.
Thanks for your tip.

| For the last 2 years I have had a recurring problem with soreness and blistering beneath the breasts and tried various creams etc. For the past couple of months I have managed to clear this problem by applying the tiniest amount of ordinary talc after my shower and then wearing one of the all-elastic tanktop type bras which are widely advertised on the tv shopping channels. I think this has worked because it stops that dampness beneath the breasts which occurs because I have severe spinal curvature, and then allows the skin to become dry and healthier. The bras are very comfortable and there are no bones to rub the skin. They aren't cheap but I am so pleased with the results that I consider them worth the money. Amelie
