What Do Rashes In The Armpits Indicate?
I have developed some bruising under my arm pits on both arms. They are small horizontal marks that are worse on my right arm vs my left. I started taking Lipator but I noticed them on my left arm prior to taking the meds. They get redder after I swim as I swim three times a week. There is no pain but I have had them since the end of October. I had a deep tissue massage prior to that , and she digs in the armpit to break things up but they have not cleared up since and no bruising. Just deep red marks. Thanks
