What Could Cause Rash Under The Armpit And Stretch Mark Like Appearance There?
my 15 yr old daughter has an awful looking rash under her armpit down the side of her side. I also noticed what appears to be stretch marks, but when you touch it it seems like the skin was gouged. What could this be? I called a dermatologist to get her an appt but they were closed for the holiday.

the signs and symptoms are of fungal infection as the place is such that there are maximum chances of fungus
use fluconazole tab 150 mg once a wk for 6 wk
apply anti fungal ointment and powders twice a day
anti allergic SOS for itch like beastie 10 mg
keep dry and airy
clean the sweat many times with soft cloth
the stretch marks also also signs in fungus
