Brief Answer: allergic or infective.Stop hydrochloroform. Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for writing to health care magic. Angry red rash seems to be allergic or infective. In case if rash is itchy then it can be due to allergy.Application of steroid cream like betnovate along with oral antihistaminics like cetrizine will help in such case.Numbness in left arm is releatd to degenrative changes in spine and it is not directly releated to rash. In case if rash is not itchy and if area is warm and tender then this point towards infective cause.A course of oral antiboitics and antiinflammatory drugs will help. In any case take rest as far as possible.Use cold spongings for affected area which will provide soothing.Use loose cotton clothings.Stop hydrochloroform sauve.This can cause worsening of rash. Rash under breast suggest fungal infection.Keep area dry.Use antifungal powder like candid.You can apply steroid antifungal combination like candid b. I hope this will help you.In case of any concerns I will be happy to help you.Take care.
