What Causes Itchy Red Rash Near Armpit?
My daughter had Guillan Barre syndrome when she was in high school. We caught it in time and after spending a week in the hospital she fully recovered. She is now 24 and has developed a bright red rash near her armpit that is very itchy. This is the second time she has had the same rash in the same place. She hasn t used a new deodorant. I wondered if it could be associated with Guillan Barre?

Hi,
It’s not related to Guillan Barre syndrome.
It seems to be an eczematous rash.
I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected area and take antihistaminic like tablet cetirizine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
