Itchy rash

3 replies

Over the past couple of weeks I've developed an angry red rash in my armpits - particularly one side. It started off looking like a few spots, but has now merged into a red area. It is weeping too.

Now I have 2 patches on my neck which are itching. Feels like bumpy spots at the moment, just how the other rash started.

I have not used any different deodorant or washing powder. I have not used deodorant since it started itching. I have put on some aqueous cream, but it hasn't done much. The itching is now waking me up at night.

Any ideas?

Ouch, poor you - do go and see the GP. You don't want it to get infected, and if its weeping it could be already?

Do the spots turn into little blisters? Could be impetigo.

Best to see your GP, especially as it's spreading.

I'm going to make an appointment with GP.

They are not really blisters, just spots very close together. Looks horrible! It stings so much when I put the aqueous cream on.
