Suggest Cure For Rash Around Friction Burn In Underarms
I have a friction burn under my arm pit. It occured five days ago. Three days ago a rash started around, but not on the burn. The rash has now spread about five centimeters in radius aroundthe burn area. The burn is healing well and there is no infection. I have not dressed the area at all.

Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of rash around friction burn in underarms which is very common as dirt and moisture get trapped by your clothing and the friction that comes can lead to rashes.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to
- Keep this area clean and dry.
- You should apply warm compresses with soaked towel and apply vitamin C serum at night.
If condition doesn't get better then consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor will examine physically and may prescribe immunosuppressants and may prescribe benzoyl peroxide ointment.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
