Why Are My Underarms Sore Along With Red Streaks On The Left Side Of The Back?
Question: My underarms are sore. It feels like razor burn. I also have 2 red streaks in an upper area on the left side of my back. That area is sore as well. I removed a tick a couple of weeks ago. Could they be related?
Brief Answer:
Regarding painful / burning rash
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Perhaps it is either shingles or it is an Insect bite reaction. Shingles is usually on one side and presents as a stripe or band of painful, bumps/vesicles. I request you to kindly go to your physician for a confirmatory diagnosis. Shingles would require treatment with an oral antiviral like valacyclovir.
Regards
