What Causes Rashes Around Groin And Armpits?
My 6 year old has a rash around his groin area.. its happened before and I thought his underwear was too tight and had him stop wearing it. Its a raised red area that he says itches. He has something similar under his armpits. I don t know if its chaffing/ dry skin or something more serious. Trying to figure out how I can treat it at home and help him.

Hi...this seems to be a superficial fungal infection of the skin. I suggest you to consult your dermatologist and a mild steroid cream application topically for a week will help a lot.
