Fungal Rash Over Entire Torso, Lump In Left Arm Pit, Painful. What To Do?
I have a fungal rash over my entire torso. Doctor prescribed a cream, however I have been using it for a week, and it is not getting any better. I have also developed a lump in my left arm pit. It is very painful, solid mass, but no head on it. Is this connected, or could it be a boil or abscess. I have had 5 over the years, one of them life threatening?

Hi,
continue with anti-fungal cream locally.
Go for oral anti-fungal tablet course like Flucanozole 150 mg once in a week for 4weeks.
Having lump in your armpit might be enlarged lymph nodes due to infection.
Go for one antibiotic medicine course and you will be alright.
Ok and take care.
