What Causes Armpit, Knee, Groin And Arms Rashes With Itching And Redness?

Hi there, i have rashes in my armpit, at the back of may knee, groin and arms... they are too itchy, and red. I was trying to apply some creams that contain Betamethasone+Tolnaftate+Gentamycin+Clioquinol.. 2x a day. Though it subsides and heals -- for awhile. But symptoms are persistent, once i stop the creams. I am taking Cetirizine tab as well and sometimes i combined it with Dexamethasone tab, just to ease the rashes... what is this skin infection that i have now?? Could you please enlighten me...

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

The rash could be a Tinea infection (fungal infection). The combination cream which you are applying, masks your skin condition. This makes the diagnosis of your skin condition difficult. So, I request you to stop all the over the counter creams.

Please stop self medication and visit your Dermatologist for further management.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards,
Dr. Siva Subramanian
