Common Questions and Answers about Itchy rash under arm

itchy

I have a very uncomfortable itchy rash on my scrotum and under one arm. It itches continually and causes a lot of discomfort. The skin has broken in some areas and the sores has signs of weeping, maybe because of the scratching. I have seen doctors they have prescibed various creams, some ease the problem but none of the eradicate it. I need to finally get to the bottom of this problem and find a medication that will help me curse this problem.

Red blOtchy rash ontop of ribs under each arm itchy,sometimes

About a week ago I started to get what I thought was a pimple under my arm pit that was itchy. I didn't think too much about it but now it has spead so that my whole underarm is red and itchy and looks very tender like maybe some peeling. I have never had a problem like this before and have no idea what it can be or what to do about it. Thoughts???? Thanks!

5 cm (on the perimeter of the armpit only on the right side)They have always been reddish, and itchy. I also have a patch of the rash on my chin, under my lower lip. The facial rash isn't itchy, but it has existed for the same duration and I have NEVER had acne. I've been using over-the-counter cortizone lotion with limited success. It decreases the inflammation but doesn't seem to stop the growth (in terms of sq.cm). What could this be!?!?! I haven't recently changed ANYTHING!! I.e.

I have itchy red patches of rash under my arms and also a couple skin tags that are irratated. The rash is not in the center, where hair grows, but on the outside edge. The tissue underneath is tender to the touch. I have had this about 4 months, and have tried cortisone, antibiotic cream, anti fungals, but nothing helps. My underarm glands are tender to the touch.

However, as the week has gone on, it has become increasingly itchy and a red rash has appeared. (Only under my right arm, the left is fine). The rash is like lots of big red bumps. Its itchy, and stings a bit when i move my arm. It looks a little bit like eczema. I have never had eczema before in my life, but my brother spent the first two years of his life in hospital with it all oevr his body.

Hi, Rash under the arm pits may be due to several things. It may be due to a sweat rash, atopic and seborrheic dermatitis , contact and allergic dermatitis , folliculitis and hidradenitis suppurativa. How would you describe the rash? Is this itchy? For how long has this been present ? Do you have any known allergies? Avoid using any deodorant at this point. Wash the area only with mild and bland cleansers. If excessive sweating occurs ,try deodorant sprays instead of roll ons.

Can anyone help me find out what this could be? A couple of weeks ago I got this circular rash on my neck (didn't look like ringworm) that was about one inch in diameter. Now I keep getting these itchy "straight line" rashes all over my arms and neck. They are made up of a bunch of little bumps that are clustered into a line that is about two inches long and half an inch wide. Anyone know?

Every so often my left arm gets all itchy. left only and usually from the elbow down. Then it disappears and nothing for month. It gets worse at night and when I'm scratching it. I wake up because of the itch. I have used Benadryl cream and any cream under the sun that is suppose to stop itching. I have used Benadryl tablets. Nothing works. I take an icepack to bed with me and when the itch starts I wrap my ice pack around my arm. It helps, but it just numbs the arm.

i was reading the post that you guys sent in about itchy arms.

I have had itchy arms for 20 years. There is no rash, scaling, or anything. It can come on at any time of the year and usually lasts for 6 to 8 weeks. The more I scratch to more it stings and burns. It feels like someone is sticking me repeatedly with a needle. Its driving me crazy!!!! can anyone help. I have heard I could possibly need a neurologist.My arms will bleed I scratch so much. Ice gel packs help more anything Ive tried.

Starting in August, I get extremelly itchy arms. It is only on my arms, top side. It is uncontrollable and so extreme I itch until I have broken skin. It is actually more than just an itch. It feels deep from within, like a prickly intense feeling inside my skin. It usually subsides sometime in January or February. This year I actually started itching end of June/July. This is going to be a long season if itching for me. I am miserable. Ice seems to help, probably numbing it.

red and extremely itchy rash on both arms only. have had rash for approximately 4days. have been applying calamine lotion and taking benedryl but still itching and burning lik crazy!

I am having the same itchy arms nightmare as everyone else on this post. I am a 29 year old male on Florida's gulfcoast. It started in early July I would say and my arms and scalp have been on fire for two months straight. I thought it was from a highly chlorinated swimming pool for about a week and then it never stopped. I have litterally scratched my skin off of the back of my head and top of my right arm below the elbow. I have no known allergies and would consider myself in superb health.

I have a very irratible itchy rash on my left arm. It started with the feelings of "bugs" crawling under my skin. with much itching it now has scabs and it itches TERRIBLY with no relief from anything I have tried to stop this itch> Please help me!!

My son is 11 months old and the last few weeks he has come up with a rash all over his arms only. Its not causing him any discomfort and its not itchy. When you run your fingers over his arms its not smooth so the spots are raised and red. I have tried sudocream but it hasn't cleared up. Any suggestions would it could be or what i could do.

I have an itchy rash that started under my arms and has spread to my back, neck, arms, and stomach. I went to dr and he gave me prednisone but today is the 10th day on it and the rash has not budged. I have not used a different soap shampoo or soap powder. I use ivory soap, borax soap powder (pure), and a scoriasis shampoo I have been using for a while without any problems. I did buy a comforter and the next morning I woke up itching but this has been going on for 2 wks now.

once stopped it come right back to being itch, i figured it could be a ingrown hair but not sure, At times i get little puss like pockets . also my under arms are also itchy at times not as bad as my groin. Can someone help me out here what this may be?

I have an itchy blotchy rash on my back, with several raised bumps (there are no blisters/heads to them). The whole red area is about the size of the palm of my hand, excluding my fingers. It started a couple months ago as a couple bumps where my bra strap is sewn into the back part of my bra (note:not a new bra). I really thought it was just the bra that was itching and tried several different bras (new & old).
