I do take a lot of different vitamin supplements. I stopped taking all of them to see if it will go away? why is it turning purple? what i causing this?
It seems that you may be having erythrasma ..caused by bacteria corynebacterium minutissimum. It commonly occurs in axillae areas. Local application of metrogyl gel and oral antibiotics like doxycycline or azithromycine may improve the disease. You consult dermatologist. You may be alright. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
