Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Extreme Dryness And Rashes In The Armpit?
For the past two months the area around my arm pit has become really dry, and now looks like it is getting darker and more dry. I have put lotion on it many times, and that does not help. for the most part I only get it in the winter but this year it is really bad. It is turning brown like a scabbed over rash, and when I work out and sweat it starts to burn. How can I get rid of this?
As a first line management, you can apply low potency steroid creams like betamethasone for symptomatic relief. If the lesion persists, it is better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
