Suggest Treatment For Cough , Cold And Itchy Rash On The Armpit
I had a nasty cold w/ cough & sinus issues, and a really itchy rash appeared under my arm and in my butt crack. I got cough medicine w/ codeine and a anti-fungal cream w/ steroids. Doctor also told me to use my asthma inhaler too. Now I have my voice back, still a little cough, and the rash is now on my forearm instead! What should I do?

Hi
Skin rashes can commonly occur during episodes of cough and cold
You need to take some antihistamines to relieve the rash and itching
Apply some topical steroid or calamine lotion , it ill have a soothing effect
The skin rash will subside along with the viral infection
