Suggest Remedies For A Rash Under The Right Armpit
I have a large, very red, almost perfectly circular rash under my right armpit that will not heal.I have tried cortisone cream, Nystatin cream, and zeosorb powder. It is painful, but not extremely painful. I have been having severe shortness of breath about the time I got this rash. I just recently had blood work done and was told that my B-12,iron, and hemoglobin are very low. Actually hemoglobin is borderline low.

Hi,
Circular rashes are typically fungal in nature and fungal rashes can take 2 to 3 weeks to respond to consistent treatment.
Persistent bacterial infection can also be a problem as well.
You may need to take supplements to help with the low iron, B12 and folate levels.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Michelle Gibson James, General & Family Physician
