I have had a red rash/skin inflammation under my arm pit and top of chest for over a week. my local doctor prescribed a steroids ointment and a 5 day oral steroid?

This may be a fungal rash which can actually worsen with steroids. You may want to try an antifungal cream, which you can get over the counter. Your pharmacist can recommend one. If no improvement, then see a dermatologist. Good luck to you!
