Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Small Bumps On The Arm And Itchiness In The Rectum?
Two weeks ago I got a yeast infection. I took two doses of pills (4 pills). The yeast was resistant so I was prescribed a creme, The yeast is almost gone after the second prescription of creme. Now I have a rash under my breast, bumps on my arms and back and my rectum is itchy. My lips are also starting to blister.
The cream is not likely associated with this new rash since it would only cause a local reaction if any (reaction in the area applied).
If this rash is related to an allergic response, it would be to an agent taken orally or a cream that would have been applied to a wide area.
It may not be an allergic response however but may be a fungal infections. Fungal infections commonly occur under the breast and in the anal region where there is heat, moisture and friction. If this is the case, it would respond to a topical anti fungal , preferably a powder and a mild steroid cream.
To determine the exact nature of the rash, you would need to see your doctor for an assessment.
I hope this helps
