I have just discovered an itchy, pinkinsh, oblong rash on my 8yr old son s armpit. What could it be? I am travelling right now and cannot get to his doctor for the next 10 days. Is there any ointment/ topical treatment that i can use in the meanwhile?

Hello dear,welcome to healthcare magic forum.
If it was sudden inset,it is probably an allergic reaction.otherwise, can be fungal infection.
Anyhow,now you can apply calamine lotion.if itching very prominent you can give antihistamine like cetirezine also.if not getting better by 2-3days,pls have medical attention.
Thank you
