What Do Red Rashes In The Armpit And Chest Indicate?
I have a red rash that started in my arm pits and has spread across most of my front upper torso/chest. It itches. It started several months ago. I also have problems with scaly stuff on my scalp. I wash my hair daily with shampoo that contains tea tree oil and/or peppermint oil. I have had some form of a rash or skin problem ever since I was given steroids over a decade ago. I have not had steroids in the past ten years.
