Suggest Treatment For Itchy Armpits Which Are Bumpy Too?
My armpits are extreme itchy at night and are red and quite bumpy from the itching. Internet searches suggest scabies but I have not been in close contact with anyone who has it So is it likely to be something else? I'm terrified I have it and will pass it to my children!

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having fungal infection on the part.
If you have some eruptions on inter digital spaces, then possibility of having scabies is there as this the commonest site for scabies.
Apply anti-fungal cream on the part.
Keep local part clean, dry and airy.
Do not allow to use your towels or hand kerchief to your other family members.
Ok and take care.
