A member asked:
Rash armpit 9 mos ago cultured heavy bacteria growth. meds cleared rash fast. follow up test shows different bacteria every time but no rash. ??

Unclear question: If you do not have symptoms, why were the cultures repeated. Normal skin bacterial population can vary. If you are free of symptoms, observe personal hygiene and there is no need for repeat cultures.
