What Causes Itchy Rashes Around The Glands?

Hi for a week now I have suffered from an itchy rash which is situated wherever my glands are i.e around the neck, armpits, groin and then the stomach area; and as the week has gone by it has become worse, spread and become painful. Only my gland on my neck is swollen but that has improved. I don t have a fever and I feel fine... so this is what is confusing. The past month I did have the flu, dont know if that has anything to do with it as I did take antibiotics, can you maybe help me?

Hi,

It may be allergic dermatitis. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to take antihistaminics like levocetirizine and oral steroid in tapering doses. Apply mild steroid cream on the affected areas. Avoid the contact with suspected allergens. Avoid the foodstuffs which might trigger the allergy.

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

Regards,
Dr. Ilyas Patel, Dermatologist
