Kelly, I HAVE THE SAME THING! It's a terrible itchy rash, only mine is under my boobs. I've had it FOREVER! It's awful, and the itch keeps me awake at night. I posted about this quite a few months ago.
My doc thought it was just a fungus, so he suggested I get some over-the-counter anti-fungal ointment like the stuff for athlete's foot. I went through three tubes of that damn stuff, and it did NOTHING!
I went back to the doc and said, "Hey, it didn't work -- I need something better!" He prescribed "Elocon" cream (now it's called "Mometasone Furoate"). Ironically, it's the same stuff he prescribed for my Shingles. The stuff works! I got rid of the rash under my boobs, but after a few months it started coming back, so I quickly used it again. I'm on my second tube (refill), and I'm almost itch-free.
Call your doc and tell him you wanna try the "Mometasone Furoate .1%" cream.
