What Causes Red Ring Under Armpit?
Okay so I am getting red circles on my armpit. They start have as a little red dot then get bigger and bigger, and they d peel around the edges. I have had this happen one other time on my other armpit. I have more than 1 that is popping up and they re about 1cm im diameter. I thought maybe it was the deoderant i was using but im not sure. They burm really bad I m guessing do the fact that they rub against clothing. And kind of itch.

My Dear
Welcome to Healthcaremagic!
I have noted your concerns and feel that most probably it is due to Ring Worm or Tinea infection.
For my patients with this condition, the following measures are almost always effective:
1 Avoidance of sweating
2 Locally Clotrimazole cream
3 Orally Terbinafine and Anti allergic
I hope your sugar levels are within normal range. Please wear loose and cotton only garments so that ventilation of the area helps prevent problem in future
I hope you benefit from the a advice.
All the best
