What Could Red Rashes On Armpit In Children Suggest?

My 5 year old daughter has had a small red rash on her right armpit for 2 weeks. At first I thought it was a scrape caused by some playground equipment. But it hasn t cleared up. She does not complain of it itching or even hurting, but I m concerned that it s lasted so long. Should I be concerned?

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

How is the rash? Does it have a circle around it? Have you noticed any itching at all?Are there similar rashes anywhere else on her body? Are there any other symptoms like fever, bodyache, headache etc? I recommend you get her reviewed by the concerned doctor or the dermatologist for a proper review.
