Rashes on underarms
Hi. I have rashes on my underarms from 5-6 months. They go and come and there is one rash that feels like a bumb. I recently went to dermatologist. She gave me one ointment "Mupirocin ointment" and "Mordica 625" and combiflam for 1 week. But she said, I have to go through laser treatment for underarms. I don't want to have laser and avoid it. What should I do ? And she said she is putting me on strong antibiotics. I wanted to know if there are any side effects of it and why has doctor given me combiflam to take twice a day. I didn't say anything about pain. So, why am I required to take combiflam. Plus, I don't want to go through laser treatment. Please suggest some alternative

Fungal infection.. Also called jock itch, when occurs in groin.. Usually fungal infection is common in moist areas of body like skin folds..It's mostly circular or round in appearance.. May be red or black in colour.. Treatment depending on the type and severity.. Avoid sharing clothes, towels and soap; sweating also increases it..As it has to be differentiated from eczema, bacterial and viral infection, doctor need to see to confirm the diagnosis..So, meet me in my clinic or do direct online consultation by sending photos for detailed information and medicine for treatment.
