red and or brownish flaky itchy skin between the breast

How do i know what kind of rash i have between my breast if the doctors won't pay attention?
I can't speak to why your doctor is not paying attention. I know from personal experience that I can get overwhelmed by a patient's many complaints when the clinic requires me to complete the encounter in 15 minutes, including taking a history, performing a physicial exam, writing a prescription, writing a referral, and documenting a medical note.





You don't mention how old you are or really too many details about the condition. Taking a wild stab in the dark (and that's about the best I can do with the information you provided) it might be ringworm. Topical antifungal agents can be effective. If this is not helpful make an appointment with your physician to discuss just this rash. If that's purpose of the appointment he/she will pay attention. Good luck.
Reply:If your doctors won't pay attention, it is time to find a new doctor that will. Because if they won't pay attention now, will they in need of emergency help?
Reply:Very seriously, if you have a complaint and the doctor doesn't listen, you need to find another doctor. For a skin complaint, try a dermatologist.





Good luck!
Reply:get a new dr sorry to say but it is the only thing u can do
Reply:You may have a fungal infection. Areas that don't get a lot of sun and don't dry very easily, can get them. A sign is flaky skin. Go to a dermatoligist. They're more qualified for that kind of stuff.

Reply:I am writing to you from Toronto,Can. I know exactly what you are talking about when you say you are being ignored. I have a few medical problems but 1 is the most bothersome for the past while. I have talked to more than 1 doctor about this including in the emergency. I cannot sleep and it starting my health and well being. Right now I am so fed up with the medical profession but I did call the College of Physicians %26amp; Surgeons and was told that it is my legal right to see who I need to so if there is a problem with 1 doctor you can ask to see another and cannot be refused. If I am they told me to call them back and they would follow up on it and make sure the doctor problem was taken care of. I don't know if this helps any but we, as patients, have to be more forceful and insistent.
Reply:Are you sure you're going to a male doctor?? Haven't met a man that didn't pay attention to a woman's breasts!!





Hope you get better soon!

Reply:SEEK A NEW DOCTOR FAST! There are some hospitals around that are "teaching" Hospitals. You could seek them out, find a great doctor and even help a med student be a better doctor in the future if you do not mind the attention.
