STRANGE RASH?
About three weeks ago, a strange rash(feels like tiny bumps)showed up in my left armpit. Its extremely itchy. I've tried different medications for skin rashes, but every time I try to put any medicine on it, there's extreme burning pain along with the itch. I remove it immediately, (medicine). Now the right armpit is doing the same thing. I'm a 47 yr old female, and have never had a rash like this that won't go away or allow any kind of medicine to be applied. I haven't been using any soaps on it, and have increased my water consumption to aid in healing. When I start to sweat, it becomes unbearable. Cornstarch doesn't seem to work, but petroleum jelly helps out some of the time, I don't use it all day long, which would be nice if I could, I know it needs to breathe, and not blocked by ointments or jelly. What can this annoying rash be? The color is light maroonish, it feels like tons of acne pimples side-by side. Please help

It sounds like ingrowing hairs usually caused by shaving, a visit to your doctor should sort this out, he will prescribe some cream for you.

I may not know a lot about rashes but I think you should talk to your doctor about it. if it turns out something terriably wrong is going on, you will feel sorry you didn't later.

maybe its herpes

I hope you are not still suffering the discomfort of this rash. Seeing a doctor is the only answer. You could have poison ivy or poison oak....you would not believe how easy it is to have contact with the oil from poison oak without knowing it, and then spread the oil to parts of your body with your own hands. Seeing a dermatologist is an excellent suggestion, but if you haven't had a physical for some time, it would be good to have a routine health evaluation. For instance, a rash such as yours could actually be a yeast infection or be another symptom of an internal or underlying cause. Don't continue to try and second-guess a rash, fever, cough, or pain that doesn't go away.
