What Could Cause Rashes Around Belly And Armpits?
Hi I am 16 years old (male) and recently I started getting this weird rash around my belly button. I wasn't quite too sure what it was and I thought it would go away but now it's spreading. I also just discovered another rash under my armpits and saw this rash around the same time as the rash around my belly button and it's also spreading. Do you have any idea of what this would be?

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
Your problem is most likely Tinea corporis, a fungal infection. For my patients with such condition i treat with clotrimazole or miconazole ointment for local application.I also give fluconazole tablet weekly once for 4 weeks. That usually clears up the infection.Keep the areas dry, dont put sweaty clothes for long time.
Let me know if you have any further query.
Have a nice day.
