My armpits are gray, itchy and scabby. Why?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
My armpits are gray, itchy, and scabby. It involves my entire armpit, and it extends down to my side boob and around my shoulders. I do not know the reason for having it. I also had the same problem last year too. I always have a lot of sweating.
Hi,
I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.
I understand your concern and will try to help you with it.
You may have a fungus on your skin. Please mix Hydrocortisone and Clotrimazole cream in equal amount and apply it over the skin two times a day for 14 days. Maintain good hygiene. Try to avoid having sweating as much as you can. Apply deodorant regularly. Please send a picture to guide you further.
Thank you for consulting me.
You can always reach me at icliniq.com.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
