What Does A Rash In The Armpit Indicate?
Hi, I am wondering about a small rash I have, I noticed a dime size rash on my armpit, thought nothing of it like my shirt may have rubbed on it and it went away. Then I had one on my finger and thought I must have burn it on the oven and it went away....now I notice one on my leg behind my knee....so something is up. Its small like a dime size and looks kinda red and just dry skin....any idea what it could be?

Hello,
These types of rashes are due to commensal infection because of perspiration. Apply Clotrimazole powder 2 to 3 times daily and keep the area dry as much as possible.
In summer take bath 2 to 3 times daily. If itching is there, take tablet Levocetirizine 12 hourly and do not use Corticosteroids topical applications.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
