How Can A Rash Under The Armpit Be Cured?
I have a rash under my armpit that has been there for a couple of weeks. It itches and I think it is leaking somehow. I have treated it with a steroid cream which seems to help but it burns a little when I put it on. Is there anything else I should be doing to help this out?

Hello,
I think the skin there is infected since there is liquid under the armpit. I think you can use an antibiotic and corticosteroid cream like Betamethasone and gentamicin to treat infection and inflammation and itching. Also, wash it with soap and water and keep it dry and ventilated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
