[|Human|] I have a heat rash under my right side breast, that spread to my back and front of my breast.  The one under my breast is infected, I think, it had small blisters, that popped and now are very red and scabbed over.  I have put bactriban (sp) cream on it, but it still hurts and burns.  It feels better when in the shower under warm/hot water, but other than that its really driving me crazy..What can I do? neosporin? Calamine? Avenno?Please, cant take this burning anymore...
[|AI|]  Hello. Thank you for writing to us at Chat Doctor After going through the query and the fact that it is unilateral and composed of fluid filled blisters, I am of the opinion that it is more than just a simple heat rash and is likely to be Herpes Zoster Or shingles. I would suggest that you see a specialist for a confirmatory diagnosis. Zoster or shingles classically presents as fluid filled grouped lesions, arranged in a stripe like pattern, encircling only one half of the body. Treatment of confirmed shingles is with oral antivirals e.g. acyclovir or val acyclovir. Topical treatment you may use an OTC topical antibacterial like either 2% mupirocin ointment Or newsprint ointment, twice daily, in order to prevent secondary bacterial infection. An OTC painkiller like Ibuprofen, twice or thrice daily will provide you symptomatic relief from pain. Regards
