My dermatologist gave me azythromycin and fucidin h but it is not clearing. Today he told me to change the cream to PAnderm topical cream. Can you tell me how to clear this fast. He thinks it is folluclitis.

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Itchy rash in armpit may be fungal.
Azithromycin or fucidin wont be helpful.
Try some antifungal cream.
This may provide her some relief.
