What Causes Rashes On Genital Region Spreading To Armpits, Arms, Chest And Neck?

Hello, It s been almost a week after my period ended that I have developed a rash(itch, swollen, red skin) started from labia area to anus, then I saw my physician, she said it does not seem to be bacterial related and thought I may have developed allergy to pad I use. So per her suggestion, I started using Ratio-Mometasone nightly and Fucidin H cream 2 times a day and taking Pms-Cetirizine at night for the past 4 days, but the rash has started spreading now to my under arms, inner arms and on my chest , behind my neck. Should I continue taking these medications? It has helped with reducing the swelling in my labia area, but my sking has turned red/brown as if it s burnt.I don t what s wrong?!

Hello,

It may be heat rash or exacerbated lesion after steroid (mometasone). Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.

Use low dose oral steroids like omnacortil 10mg once a day for five days. Use dermadew aloe cream locally. If symptoms not improved please consult with your dermatologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
