I was wondering if you found out what it is yet also? I have the same problem but I have no idea what it is.
I have the exact same problem! I am a sixteen year old girl with the dry light brown blotches under my arms bra line and below my bellybutton, I am really worried :
may i ask if anyone is overweight, because i am and i have those brown spots. im not sure what they are exactly but i did notice that whn i starting gaining weight i started to get them. and i hated them because i got them on my aRMS making it embarrasing to wear short sleeve tops and to top it off it looks so dirty.... Anyways. i am actually in the process of losing weight by exercising and changing all my food habbits by eating less and more heathy things, and so far i lost 20lbs. and i was happy about it, but was even more happy when i realized my spots on my arms are going away!!! i have had these for 3 years..tried creams and all sorts of stuff and i just could not get rid of them. and now that i changed my whole diet and exercising, they are fading away...almost completly gone...so honestly i think it has something to do with what we eat and weight issues...not sure but it seemed like it for me... :-D
Ive had brown spots for about 2 years ive gone to the dermotologist got creams and medication only to get relief for alittle while. they seem to always return once your off the medication or the creams. i have found that shampooing with selsun blue shampoo every 2 to 3 days works best. i dont think this is somethingthat goes away. as for the weight concept maybe that is the reason im overweight and i did not have this growing up im in my forties and it just started 2 years ago. we can all benefit from losing weight. we can get healthy and get rid of our brown spots. lots of luck to all remember ur not alone and nobody needs to be embarassed we all have things that we think no one else is going through. :D
yup i got it like 2 years ago its fungus caused by sweating the doctor gives me a cream and it goes away but i go back every summer cuz it comes bck!! changeing your lifestyle will also help, overweight ppl sweat alot more so yeah and the other dark spots on neck and underarm will also start to clear up with weightloss

try selsun blue shampoo,leave it on overnight.also cremes such as miconazole and clotrimazole.oh and over the counter pills will work.they say it returns again after about 2 years,so then u do it all over and then again in anohter 2 years..dont give up hope and trust in god for the best:)
oh also try cleaning u system ex.excercising,eating very health.
detoxing will also help..
oh and the doctor also told me after i get the treatment to thoroughly clean my clothes.and out them in boiling hot water to burn the fungus on it i guess.again

Good Evening Ladies and Girls of all ages:
Everyone is discussing the mysterious "Under Tata Intrigue”. May I join in? I can so relate I also have a large number of BROWN spots or moles some with a bit of a raised surface underneath both breast. I too also have to tote around a large pair of Tata’s.
My Derm. did diagnosed the itchy awfuls, the yucky sweaty, the peeling skin, and the strange colorations under my breast as a fungus. o.O She left out the name of said fungus – but that was OK with me. The less information I have about the two uninvited invaders the better. I was horrified mortified all fied up!!! Imagine a " 2Fungus” under my breasts. We are speaking about a secret place. The Fungus twins have never, never ever been welcomed guest nor expected or invited -- WHO >;) sent the Fungus twins an invitation? Stand-up right now.
I was overwhelmingly embarrassed :$ just like some of you girls. She (the Derm.) did prescribed a medication for under the Tata’s, the med. name is Oxistat® - (Oxiconazole nitrate lotion 1%) - the manufacture is PharmaDerm®. She prescribed 2 bottled for each dispense ( 1 for each Tata I guess) and 3 re-fills. What??? The fungus twins may return? Oh no, shut the $%#^& door and close all the windows while you are at it. Geez, just when you thought..... I keep the bottle I am not using in the fridge.
OK OK -- Does it work. YES Ladies…!!! In a matter of days the itchy, peeling skin (did I mention that?), some of the brown moles, spots, dots, whatever we call them they began to slowly fade away. And things began to return to normal. Sorta…the saga continues….
There was healing and there was another factor/rule of engagement/a whatever that caused another dumbfounded haze for me.
My derm also instructed me to wash all my bras after every wear. Hmmmmp I do not know about you girls, but I did try to get at least 2 wearings per bra. Moreover, washing these all too expensive, delicate, and wonderfully fitted bras after every wear is unthinkable. I have to wash them by hand, as it is using a special solution sold to me by my bra fitter. I try to stay employed (in this awful economy) to pay for these prized and fabulous Tata holders among other things needed in life. My workdays run pretty late and securing food (low in calories, healthy heart nourishing, and blah, blah..) is always a dinner run, next day’s outfit to be selected - plus bra, and blah, blah. Now I have to add every wear bra washing to an already insane and hectic daily lifestyle. And let me just say I am no spring chicken. But this is in the name of the “The Society for the Preservation of Tata’s”. BTW you are a member when you say you are. Except in the matter of our daughters.
I am so happy I do not have daughters at home. My heart goes out to you girls who are still mothering teen daughter. They may come to you one day and ask you to explain the weird situation going on under their breast. You will just have to let her in on our secret—and welcome her to our club with open arms. “The Society for the Preservation of Tata’s”. She must raise her hand and swear to wash her bra after every wearing. She must also swear to pay special attention to the Tata area when bathing, using extra enhanced fragrant ,creamy, infused with Moroccan argan oil liquid soap. Soaping 2 to 3X’s twice daily and gentle dry, dry, dry, pat, pat, pat and say her prays!! Just in case.
It has been a pleasure ladies and I will stay tune to read what others have to say. Do not forget to go wash your bra OK, mine is soaking in that special solution to be placed on a hanger and hung inside the tub. Which I so dislike doing................

Just buy some generic antifungal cream that heal athletes foot or ringworm. I've had that same rash for about a year and I found a cream today and used it for the first time and the spots are gone! Good luck!
its not caused by weight, thats ludicrous! i started getting these spots when i was 15, i was 5'2 and 100 lbs till i was in my mid 20s, so being overweight, what a bunch of c**p.
I have the same problem, as does my mother and my brother. My mom, a registered nurse, was told in the 70's, when the spots first appeared, that they are caused by a skin fungus spread through moisture. This explains why the pesky little spots show up in the areas we most likely sweat. This also means that if you use a towel repeatedly, without letting it dry properly, the fungus can be spread to other areas of the body. She was also told that it is quite common, about 1 in 10 carry the fungus. After being prescribed a very heavy antibiotic that solved the problem only temporarily, she found another solution. Because the spots appear to be extremely dry skin, she tried Selson Blue on them and sure enough, it cleared the spots right up. One to two applications (left on between daily showers) should take care of the spots (at least temporarily). It usually takes 5 to 7 days (after the 1 to 2 days of application) for them to completely disappear; however, I've found that they are usually gone for 6 to 12 months. Because that solution has always worked for me, I've never been to a dermatologist regarding the matter; however, I am now pregnant and the spots have sprung up again. This time I am afraid to use the Selson Blue, as I do not know what the effect may be on the baby. Therefore, I will be seeing a dermatologist in the next few weeks. If I learn anything new, I will pass along that information. But, for those who may be not wish to take antibiotics to clear up the spots or may not have insurance, I highly recommend giving Selson Blue a try - I thought my mom was crazy at first, but I've never been disappointed by the results. One note of caution: do not apply it to your underarms if you shave on a regular basis. I tried it once and was in pain for two days.
I have had the same thing... for about two years.. it looks like burn marks.. like scars from third degree or something... it shines in the light.. it sucks.. how do i get rid of it? its worse under one boob then the other..
