Red Patch and or Circle under left armpi

2017-10-15 13:51:46
Hi, I recently discovered a small reddish circle under my left armpit two days ago. It's not itchy or anything. I was wondering if it could be something serious? I'm planning on getting it checked out soon.

Probably fungal infection. Fungal infection or ring worm...common in the  skin folds...sweaty areas...seen as itchy, red or black spots mostly circular shape... avoid sweating,  exchange of clothes and soap.. treatment depends on the severity and location of the fungal infection..so do direct online consultation by sending photos or meet me in my clinic for proper diagnosis and treatment.
