What Do Rashes In The Armpit Area Indicate?
Question: Im having rashes in my armpit crothe and neck area, lookslike allergg, its itching
Brief Answer:
Urticarial rash
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
The picture uploaded was not so clear for a concrete opinion.
However it looks to be urticarial rash. This can happen after a unknown allergic reaction might be some adulterant in the spoonful of sugar you just had.
I suggest you to apply over the counter Hydrocortisone cream twice a day for two days or until the symptoms disappear which ever is shorter.
For itching you can take antihistamine available over the counter in your place. YOur pharmacist would know the over the counter medicines.
Let me know if y8ou have any specifics.
