What Does A Painful And Burning Rash On Arm Indicate?
Yes hello. A friend of mine has a half moon shape or crescent rash under his arm and he has had it for several weeks and it is not getting any better it burns and it is sore when he raises his arms above his head. Any idea what it might be? Thank you.

Hi
A crescent shaped mark under his arm is most likely a stretch mark and there's nothing to be worried about. However stretch marks can be characteristically sore but not for a week.
Anyway I'd suggest him to apply this ointment diclo gel for a week and see if his condition improves.
If the marks a cosmetic issue he can try an aloe Vera cream on it.
Hope this helps.
Regards
