Rash
Could be Group B Strept. You might need a course or ABCs. Call your doc.

my daughter developed a horrible rash under her arms that started spreading over her sides, went to the doctor 3 times and got creams, antibiotics, and steroids, nothing helped. we finally discovered it was caused by aspartame (Splenda), and went away when she stopped using it in her coffee. researching on the internet, this appears to be a common reaction to aspartame.

Anyone with similar rash?

I had posted this q. on the Gab Board before, but got no response, maybe because I worded the subj line wrong or maybe it was just the wrong board. Has anyone had an experience with an underarm rash that may be a form of tinea? This started w/me having an irritation 3 months ago from wearing an ill-fitting bra in hot, humid weather. Since then it has gone from red to a brownish rash that is spreading to areas under my arms that was not originally irritated. Any OTC treatment I could try before I make an embarrassed visit to my doctor? TIA!

anyone with similar rash
I would try clotrimazole liquid twice a day as directed to see if it helps. Many times it is fungal and could be precursor of diabetes. If not better in a couple of weeks would go to doc.

could be a mere fungal rash - Lotrisone/Lotrimin.NM

I live in the Kansas City area and this summer we have had a rash of pit bull attacks especially

in the Independence, MO area. The city governments have passed laws banning pit bulls and last week something like 100+ pitbulls were picked up by animal control or dropped off at the city pound and all were destroyed.

Personally, I think the owners of these animals should be held just as accountable as the dog. Well, I guess maybe putting the owner to sleep is a bit extreme.

I'm so sorry about your lab.

Your son develops a rash and a fever and you swear he has Scarlet Fever! nm
