Suggest Remedy For Itchy Skin Rashes Around The Underarms And Thigh Region

In the last week, I ve developed an VERY itchy rash which I thought was heat related. The bumps on my skin are red and inflamed, but they come and go . They are on the sides of my underarms, between my legs on my thighs and up onto my butt cheeks, sometimes they are worse than others but always very itchy. Is this heat rash?

Hi,

From what you are describing, it seems that they are not related to heat rash but to a fungal infection of the skin.

I advise applying Clotrimazole cream locally. Apply herbal anti-itching cream you find over the counter to ease the itchiness.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
