Hello,
I had gone through your query and understand your concern.

Short answer: Looks like candidiasis, Candid will help.

Detailed answer: Thanks for asking on HCM.

Itchy rash under breast and arm pit is may be due to Candidiasis which is a fungal infection. These areas are prone to fungal infection because of constant wetness due to sweat. Candid cream contains broad spectrum anti fungal drugs and will help you to get rid of your infection. Yes, you can go for over the counter Candid.

Hope this helps.

If you have any other queries, feel free to ask.
