Check ENT: Looks like you may have something else (think mono) and thus antibiotic would not help.  See ent.

my friend has had a rash under his right armpit and has diabetes. he has taken antibiotic and cream to no effect.what can he do to get rid of it? its red looks awful. he says what happened was he shaved a mole off and  its just got worse. thanks?

Needs to see doc : Your friend has to see his doc timely as history suggests a local infection that may be mixed bacterial/fungal or bacterial, but resistant to common antibiotics. Having it evaluated fast will help in avoiding significant complications on the background of his diabetes.

Accepted Answer

This is JUST : a "THOUGHT"
Could be using a LUBRICANT with a SPERMATOCIDE????
The reaction you are experiencing could be due to a simple CONTACT dermatitis!
Just a thought!
Hope it helps!

Question 7

i have gotten mono twice so far in college. what can i do to prevent it, and how can i get rid of it?

Accepted Answer

See below: Mono is caused by epstien barr virus.  Typically you only get it once, but there are other viruses (CMV) that can give you very similar syptoms.  Nothing you can do to get rid of it, but sufficient rest is probably your best preventative measure.  Good luck.

Question 8

what do i do to get rid of mono faster?

Accepted Answer

It's a virus: Mononucleosis is caused by epstein-barr virus. Up to 50% of people are infected with the virus by the age of 5. Most are asymptomatic carriers.  The symptoms associated with acute infection  can include sore throat/tonsillitis, muscle  aches, weakness, fever, &  most commonly prolonged fatigue. There really is no way to get over the problem faster other then supportive care.  Get your rest!

Question 9

i had mono when i was younger, could that have been ebv, if so am i still contagious or does the body get rid of it ?

Accepted Answer

Mononucleosis: Mononucleosis is a viral infection (EBV) that can cause extreme fatigue, sore throat, cough, abdominal pains, headaches, swollen lymph nodes and other symptoms.  Treatment for Mononucleosis is mainly supportive, meaning plenty of fluids and rest until your immune system isolates it. Spleen enlargement is an uncommon but serious possibility.  EBV is a lifelong infection, but usually remains silent.

Question 10

is mono something you have for life? like carrying the infection for life? or you can get rid of it completely?

Accepted Answer

EBV yes, mono no: Like all the human herpes viruses, epstein-barr virus remains in the body, latent some of the body's lymphocytes.  It periodically reactivates asymptomatically and it is secreted in the saliva.
