I have a slight medical issue...

[Chubbz]

I have been getting a sudden rash under both my armpits. It is itchy as all hell, and I've stopped itching, and I would lather on some lotrimin to stop the itching. Now all of a sudden, it has spread to my chest, but not as severe. It is also starting to appear on my arms, and all joking aside, my balls are starting to itch now... WTF is going on? My mom has a history with excema and I'm 20 years old. Am I possibly showing signs of excema? What can I do about this? Any doctors in the house willing to help an itching sufferin' succotash?

No one can make a diagnosis over the Internet. Get to a doctor. Lots of things can cause rashes.

Did you change deodorants? Doing so gives my husband a rash. Just a thought. Hope it clears up soon.

 

[headRush]

Its lupus.

don't you have a family doc you can call on the weekend or maybe a clinic you can consult?

you really aren't going to get good answers here.

Change deoderants? (you could still have after effects).

Try taking some bendryl for a possible allergic reaction?

Sounds like excema maybe?

 

[imported_cheapdude]

its probably STD

Poison oak? Maybe allergic to soap you're using? Who knows.

 

[gnumantsc]

chicken pox?

 

[I Saw OJ]

Lupus is an autoimmune disease. It's rare overall, but really rare in males.

Someone suggested trying some benadryl, I'll second that, or look for some topical corticosteroid cream until you can get to the doctor.

Stop scratching first of all, then take a shower. Then call the doctor.

you have cow pox, stop milking your cow

All signs point to lepracy

I had a bitch of an outbreak when I was younger and worked landscaping. Apparently, I hadn't washed my hands/arms thoroughly enough before I took a shower 😀

Sounds like some form of Allergy. Try Benedryl.

 

[oynaz]

Sounds like rubeola or an allergic reaction. Call a doctor.

It's never lupus.

Find a Health South or a walk in clinic. It won't cost you any more than a normal doctor's visit and you can usually get in in less than an hour.

Then report back and tell us how much time you have before the alien fungus consumes your soul.

Ebola?

I had something like that. I found out that I was allergic to Neosporine and eating Peaches at the same time. You need to schedule an emergency visit to your derm. S/he will give you the proper lotion and it will disappear within 2 days.
