Hi...usually the rash which starts like this in the armpit - the first possibility is eczema, which is a type of allergic reaction of the skin. The second possibility is a hand foot mouth disease as you say it is there around in the locality. But without fever, eczema is a high likely possibility. The trick of the management is keeping the skin moist and never allowing it to be dry. For this oil massage and lotions like Oilatum will help.
