I have developed a rash under my arms and in my groin areas. It s red, slightly itchy, and slightly warm. It also seems to be spreading fairly quick. I haven t used anything, soap, laundry soap, deodorant, fabric softener, etc., that I haven t used before.

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

The rash could be a Tinea cruris which is a fungal infection. But it may be an eczema also. It is important to distinguish between the two conditions as the treatment differs. So I recommend you to visit your Dermatologist to come to a proper diagnosis and to initiate treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
