Used Teatree Oil Under Arm On A Skin Tag. Rash Spreading To Side And Back. Try Benadryl?
I used tea tree oil topically under my arm for 4 weeks on a skin tag. After 4 weeks a small rash occurred under my arm. I put cortisone on it to help with the mild itchiness. I then tried Neosporin on it, which just made it worse. It is now spreading down the underside of my arm, my side and my back. The itching remains mild, doesn t disrupt sleep and seems to get worse when I m wearing long sleeves. Was going to try some Benedryl next to see if it would calm it down.
HI, Thanks for writing in. The condition can be scalp allergic contact dermatitis. A visit to dermatologist will allow proper diagnosis and treatment. Till the time you can use hydrocortisone cream and a cetirizine 10mg tablet daily can help you with itching. Hope this helps. Regards DrSudarshan MD Dermatology
