Itchiness Between Legs, In Arm Pits, Rashes, Bruising, Worse On Lying Down. Treatment?
Recently I have been experiencing itchiness on the insides of my legs and underneath my arms. At first I thought it was my new laundry soap so I bought a new one and rewarded everything but the itch won t go away. The more I ith the more it rashes and it has started to bruise as well. The itching is the worst when I am laying in bed at night.

Hi!
welcome to HCM!
Itching can be due to contact dermatitis vascular eczema, stasis dermatitis or scabies .
For these rashes, do not use any cosmetic products at the sites. You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin. Also take some antihistaminic and apply a mild steroid cream on the itchy bumps. Also keep the area well moisturized.
If the symptoms persist then get an evaluation done from a dermatologist.
I sincerely hope that helps. Take care !
