What Causes Raised, Red, Itchy Rashes On Elbows And Between Breasts?

i have a weird rash on both of my elbow pits and a little between my breasts. i ve been fighting a head cold, sinus pressure and some flu-like symptoms for five days now. the rash spots are itchy and raised and red. could this be related to the virus that i m apparently dealing with?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi.

More likely to be intertrigo that occurs in such skin folds and requires a tripple paste (zinc oxide, vinegar and an anti-fungal), you can also try asking for just zinc oxide at any medical store, and any anti-fungal like clotrimazole or miconazole and add vinegar to it at home and make the paste. Apple in the affected regions.

Best wishes.
