2 days ago I felt  slightly itchy under one arm.  when I looked, i saw the skin was very dry and dark. Today the skin under both arms is extremely dark and dry, Not where I shave but towards the outter left side.  I have not changed deoderant or detergent.  I did buy a bar of Dove soap for the first time but have only used it twice,  I tried an antibotic cream yesterday, should I continue? I have also been using Castor Oil for the dryness - might that work?
Hello, Thank you for posting on Chat Doctor. It seems you have got intertwine. Intertrigo is an infection which occurs over any opposing skin surfaces, mostly seen over groin folds. Its caused due to bacterial or sometimes fungal infection. Overweight can increase the friction and thus predispose to intertwine. I would suggest you oral antibiotics and antifungal tablets for few days along with application of antibiotic cream like juridic acid and antifungal cream like clotrimazole twice a day for few weeks. Use dusting powder containing clotrimazole on daily basis to keep area Chat Doctor. Try to reduce weight and maintain hygiene. Avoid tight undergarments and use cotton garments as far as possible. Hope this will help YouTube care
