Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have red rashes on inner thighs and under arms . There can be other reasons also like contact dematitis , psoriasis and scabies. As of now you can take anti allergics like Levocetrizine or Benadryl to relieve itching. In case of fungal infection antibiotics with steroid lotion massage can relieve.

In case of Folliculitis or Impetigo, antibiotic ointments and oral antibiotics can be advised. If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may order certain test to confirm the diagnosis .
