Suggest treatment for an itchy rash in armpit
Patient: I have a rash on the crook of my left arm and just at the crease of my armpit. At both sites there are red bumps which are slightly raised and intensely itchy, especially when the skin gets hot or sweaty. Under my arm the bumps are in a small patch. At the crook the bumps are more separated. Doctor: Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.  I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.  It looks like a fungal infection like seborrhea. Apply topical anti fungal ointments like Clotrimazole for symptomatic relief. Keep the area clean and dry.  In case of secondary infection, start a short course of antibiotics for five to seven days. Clotrimazole-Neosporins combination is a better choice.  Hope I have answered your query.  Let me know if I can assist you further.
