Avatar f tn Last Wednesday (20th), she began to complain that she was itchy. Friday a rash showed up on her torso, under her armpits, only on her sides down her ribcage. Nothing has gotten the rash to go away. We have washed everything repeatedly, soaked her in epsom salt, oatmeal, and baking soda baths (not all at the same time). Her pediatrician gave her two rounds of antibiotics. We even gave her Benadryl.
Avatar n tn I have had a rash under both my armpits for several months now. I have used hydrocoritzone cream, it seemed to lighten up a little, but the rash is still there. I am scared to show a doctor, I am just hoping it will go away. Has anyone ever experienced something like this before?
Avatar f tn first got diagnosed for a yeast infection under both armpits and on side of hip. i get prescribed a steroid shot, 3 doses of fluconate taken every 48 hrs & clotrimazole and betamethasone dipropionate cream for two weeks. the rash eventually went away but it came back in other places, both legs, both thighs, both arms and fore arms, stomach, back, back of neck. I'v qiut using the cream for five days now due to the using it already for two weeks as the pharmacist told me. Went to the e.
Avatar f tn I woke up yesterday and noticed pain under my right armpit. I felt my armpit and found hard bumps or lumps and they are pea-sized and painful to the touch. There is about 10 under the right armpit. The skin is slightly red and I also have them under my left armpit, but only about 5 of them. They are painful to the touch as well and slightly itchy. The pain feels prickly and tender and it hurts more when I move my arm.
Avatar f tn it could be due to the fever gave her a heat rash. the rash is in all the heat pertained ares. could be heat rash. her body fighting against the fever. ive had the heat rash before but they werent rough to the touch.
Avatar n tn They tend to develop in areas where the skin is not under tension like eyelids, armpits, neckline, and genital area and therefore the areas where you have noticed them are particularly prone to them. It would be best to have it evaluated by your doctor since it is difficult to do so over the internet. Complete medical history and physical examination is needed to reach a diagnosis. Take care and keep us posted.
Avatar f tn I switched from old spice deodorant to an all natural deodorant, native, after I was getting a small rash and itching. Now I have a bigger rash under my left armpit but my right armpit is fine. Can this be from deodorant? Laundry detergent? I don't sweat all that much.
Avatar m tn Thank you for that. Also do you know if a syphilis rash would just appear under both armpits, and be sore/itchy?
1939607 tn?1324289300 Last week, I shaved my armpits and put deodorant on right away. It stang and the following day I woke up with a sore and itchy rash under both armpits. I could see that my shaving had also caused two tiny cuts under my left underarm. I tried using my deodorant less and I abstained from shaving for 4 days. Then, on Friday (3 days ago), I decided to shave them again. The rash wasn't inflammed, it had just left my armpits scaly and dry.

Avatar m tn I've gotten a heat rash under my armpits and deodorant really irritated it. I suggest you switch to baking soda (sodium bicarb) or baby powder for a couple days. It'll help soak up excess moisture without adding tons of chemicals. You might also want to try adding a hot rag to it, the heat can help with the pain.
Avatar m tn Hey doc i noticed a months ago that i am developed a rash under my armpits. At first i disregarded it and thought it would eventually go away however it didnt and now im concerned as to what it might be and how to address the problem. It started off as a small darkish rash and now it has grown in size and is significantly darker. Im believing that it was caused by deodarant The Mitchum Brand to be exact only after i started using this did it start to happen.
Avatar f tn Well, that's no good. Sounds uncomfy. How long has this been going on? There is a rash that specifically gets our folds of skin. Armpits, under breasts in women, and butt cracks . . . all can be a victim. It's called intertrigo. https://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/guide/intertrigo-symptoms-causes-treatment-risk_factors_#1 Moisture, heat, lack of circulation and friction ALL lend themselves to this developing.
Avatar f tn I have a great rash under my breast where my bra sits. What can I do to make it go away? I work 10 hour days so going bra less all day isn't an option. I'm also a DD so going bra less around the house hurts. I have started sleeping with no bra.
Avatar f tn I have been experiencing over the last 9 months a circle rash/redness under both of my armpits, sometimes just one armpit flares up at a time, does not ich or is dry just pure red and sore. Twice i have had spots in that area aswell but they went within a day but the redness stayed. Ive tried anibiotics, creams, changing deodrant, not shaving, washing in anti bacterial wash but nothing is working. Ive been to the doctors who have just given me more cream which has not worked.
Avatar m tn what happens immediately after trying to cool myself down, is my underarms start to sweat and when it does, the feeling and the rash goes away with in a few minutes. Also, I am only able to sweat under my armpits and very little from my groin area; even wit heavy aerobic exercise, sweat is only able to come out from my underarms and a little from my groin area.
Avatar f tn After 3 months of exposure I started itching sensation on my back thighs and armpits no visible rash. Before 01 month i noticed lymph nodes in my cervcal neck area as per doctore she perfomed Ultra Sound the nodes were reactive and below 1 cm she performed CBC , CRP and ESR all turned out negative . Only concern for me was the lymphocytes count was high 61% As per the doctor the nodes are reactive and of no suck concern ( No pain or swelling ).
Avatar n tn I strongly suggest that you STOP using the antiperspirant. Then, don't use ANY antiperspirant after this. Even if this proves to be fungus or an allergy to the oxygen cleaner. There are natural deodorants available these days that you can use when your rash disappears. Tom's of Maine makes some that are affordable and more widely available. I go for the unscented one they make, when I do use a deodorant. But, don't use anything right now.
Avatar f tn I'm from California n this 90-100ยค weather is giving me a heat rash it's down my thighs and ice packs help...anyone else get rashes?
