Suggest Remedy For Itchy Rashes On Thighs,bicep And Armpit

Hello, for a couple of weeks now I have had a spotted rash on the tops of my thighs that itches moderately. The rash started out as small bumps, almost like a razor rash, but then the rash seemed to turn brown and smooth out. Today my left bicep and armpit have been itching so I looked in the mirror and there is a bruise like rash there. Not sure what to do next.

Hi

The sites of body you have mentioned are prone to develop fungal infections.
Keep the affected area clean and dry .
Wash the affected area with lukewarm saline water twice daily.
Apply a topical antifungal cream like clotrimazole over the lesion twice daily.
Wear cotton clothes so as to decrease sweating and prevent further friction.
