Suggest Remedy For Itchy Rash On Bum And Armpits

My fiance' has a horribly itchy rash at the top of his bum and also the same exact rash in both of his armpits!! It's really starting to worry me! We have already gone to the doctor and got fungal cream and it DOES NOT WORK! He also cut his finger on a piece of metal working on his pick up and it swoll up and got infected and he got celluitis. Could there be something more serious going on with him?? Diabetes?? Please let me know ...

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Fungal infections are very common in people with diabetes.
So,I suggest to do a glycemic level and a HBa1c level for further evaluation.
Meanwhile,I suggest using an anti fungal cream for local application such as Clotrimazole cream.
I also suggest using antihistamines such as Cetirizine 10 mg for the itching.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
