What Causes Red Rings On The Armpits?
My nine year old son has red rings in his armpits. The skin is irritated and raised in a circle, but not itchy. The middle of the ring is white. We seem to have noticed he has started having smelly armpits too. Could it be related to hormones and pre puberty? Thank you

Hi,
It may be a fungal infection called Tinea corporis. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. Antifungal tablets and cream may be considered.
