hi ladies

well....i thought to meself 'ouch whats that burning feeling under me boob?

Its a fecking red sore that aint healing.

Ya know that red line we get from underwires? well....me underwire has decided to dig in under both boobs. Now although brown sequard means that i am hypersensitive on one side..i'm lucky...its only in PARTS of me left side. Some of it is hyposensitive as well.

Well this must have been over a course of a long time....before i felt it..as its got a sore on it too - i have now to go bra less and i put vasoline on it. That helps.

The right side is also in the same mess..but....i have no feeling on that side there so dont care.

Advice..what can i do to prevent this..i never had big boobs before so dont know how to look after them. I never knew they made people get sores :huh:

And...do i need to put vasoline under the right side as i cant feel it..would this help it heal?

Hey Pink

This may or may not be the answer you're looking for but here goes........

We have quite a few men on here that are obsessed with boobs...I will with hold names but they know who they are....I'm sure they would volunteer to hold them up for you while the sores healed.


I really think you should keep a bandage on them [sores] during the day and use some kind of cream on both sides. Try to wear a sports bra or one without the underwires until they have healed. Braless may be even better. Something like Balmex might help. You can get extenders to make the bra fit looser around. You may be wearing the wrong size bra and it just is too tight around your body.

Keep watching them so they don't get worse.

hi goose

strange blokes holding me boobs, i would knee them in the bollox, it aint nothing special achievement to enter a bloke with a roaming eye's attention span. Mind ya, same with me..tattoo and long hair and i smiling...even meatloaf is in me eye totty list so i am just as much as saddo aint it :doh: :wub:


Bandages and two sizes larger is a excellent idea (i already wear one size too big due to it hurting t-spine ) Sadly i not able to wear sports bra as cant raise the arms to get it on else that too is a grand plan for me.

Thanks as always :hug:

Take out the underwires. You are sitting now and they dig into your skin. Just cut a little slit and slide the wires out. I wouldn't wear a bra until the sores healed up though. Maybe since you aren't large you can just wear a tank or something extra under your shirts but leave off the bra until you heal.

They make sport bras that snap or zip up front.. but yeah if anything I'd go with the all cotton, not so Athletic/tight type. Or a cami with the built in "bra" if you absolutely must wear something.
What did you do to get a sore? Do you often sleep in a underwire bra? For future reference, might wanna try to wear different bras each day..rotate through, would probably prevent a lot of those red marks from turning into sores.
