A member asked:
What can cause a rash to appear in the underarm area?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rash: Well, a variety of things... Topical allergies could be one... Any new deodorant? Detergent or fabric softener? Does it itch? If you're subject to a hot environment it could be related to moisture, it could be fungal. You can try keeping the area dry and thoroughly washed with soap and water... Avoid any scented or heavily perfumed materials.
