A member asked:
A friend has had a rash under her arm for 8 days, the doctor has said it's measles but it's still itchy and is now weeping clear fluid, is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not measles: Measles is a systemic rash -it wouldn't be localized just under one arm. If it's itchy I wonder if it might be 'contact dermatitis' -an allergy to something? say a cream, lotion, deodorant? The fact that it's weeping clear fluid means the tissue (skin) is damaged from the rash. Not sure if there's any fever but u may want to apply antibiotic ointment -like bacitracin. I recc going back to the doc

Extreme itchiness, like unbearable and painful itching in arms and legs, on and off for about six years now. Have gone to several doctors and none have been able to provide help. Im wondering if it could be allergy related? No rash present?
