Suggest Treatment For Red Rashes Under The Arms Indicate?
I m just now a 70 year old male and have been noticing a change in the odor of my sweat for the past year. It s clammy and offensive in it s smell and a red rash develops under my arms. I never had that in my life. In the past year I ve also seemed to have developed sinus polyps and consequent allergies, again something I ve never had before. Is there a correlation?

Hi,
It can be a fungal infection and I suggest you to apply an antifungal cream over the rash, there is no relation between your polyps and rashes. Its difficult to give a diagnosis based on description so you can visit your physician in person and get yourself examined.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
