According to Heather Downes, MD, certified dermatologist and founder of Lake Forest Dermatology: “When tight clothing rubs the skin, it can cause excessive sweating, irritation and inflammation of the hair follicles. In this way, bacteria and fungi can penetrate more easily, causing infections “.
  • Reflux may appear: the appearance of acid reflux can be another symptom of a too tight bra; the cause? Tight fitting clothing tends to put pressure on the abdominal area and as a result can cause acid reflux.
