What Causes Rash In Both Armpits And Groin Area?
Question: I have a rash in both of my arm pits and groin area. I see this for the past few months. It looks like a strech mark but has become big over time. Please advice, I am worried. Suggest me some remedies for the same. Images attached for the same.
Brief Answer:
Stretch marks; Use topical tretinoin 0.025% cream once daily at night
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us
I have gone through your query and I have also reviewed the Images.
Yes, these are stretch marks.
Stretch marks form as a result of rupture of collagen framework of dermis and can be felt as a gap on sliding fingers across them.
I suggest that you use topical tretinoin 0.025% cream i.e Retino - A 0.025% cream once daily, at night, for these stretch marks.
Tretinoin has collagen re-modelling properties and therefore helps improve the appearance of stretch marks.
Stretch marks are only a cosmetic concern.
Though it is not possible to completely eliminate a stretch mark, however, they may improve with treatment and become less noticeable over time.
You may use this cream for 3-6 months.
Regards
