What Causes Itchy Red Rashes At The Back Of Armpits Radiating To Elbows?
hi. i just started developing a really itchy rash a couple days ago. It looks like a bunch of large, red patches, and is anywhere between the back of my armpits to the top of my elbows. it started on one arm and today its now on the other. Any suggestions as to what it is, how i got it, and how to treat it?

Hello,
The symptoms can be related to an allergic reaction. I recommend using an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily. I also suggest using a mild steroid cream for local application such as Hydrocortisone cream.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
