Suggest Remedy For Red Itchy Rashes From Night Sweats
I am 56 years old and suffer from night sweats only on my chest area and the back of my neck. I wear cotton pajamas and have cotton sheets. Over the last 6 months, this has caused an itchy red rash. How can I get rid of it please? Have used cal0mine lotion, e45 cream and nappy rash cream but results are only temporary

Hi
The kind of rash you have developed could be suggestive of an infective skin rash like a fungal rash .'It will need treatment with topical and oral antifungal agents .
You can start application of a topical antifungal agent like clotrimazole over the affected areas twice daily .
You might need a course of oral antifungals too along .
