What Causes Raised Rash On Armpit And Stomach?

My son, 12 yes od, has a raised rash on his armpit and now a bit on his tummy, that has gotten progressively worse over the last couple of days. I have gone through the checklist of possible things we have done, or touched, but we really have done nothing diffrrent. Thoughts? We have put Cortisone and a Antifungal cream on it, which does help a bit. He also now has a stomach ache, could that be related??

Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to a fungal infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream for local application such as Clotrimazole cream. I also suggest to maintain a good hygiene. In case of itching, he may use antihistamines such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily.

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

Regards,
