How Can A Brown Itchy Spot On The Armpit Be Treated?
I have a one brown itchy spot on the left side of my armpit. It does not hurt, but I thought I felt something sting or bite me about a month ago. I am severely allergic to insect bites. At first I thought it might have been a brown recluse, but it s been over a month now. I live in Arkansas, where brown recluses are common.
