Itching area, spot in armpits which is getting bigger.

Resolved question:
Hello,

My wife has an itching area near the armpits. It started on one the right side as a small spot but it got bigger over time. And now it's also on the left side. It's burning a lot (intermittently) and itching all the time. The burning gets worse with touching.

Thanks.

Hello,

Thanks for posting your query at DoctorSpring.com

I can understand your concern.

You seem to be having fungal infection mixed with bacterial infection.

Its called tinea corporis.

I would recommend application of terbinafine cream mixed with Mupirocin cream twice a day for two weeks.

For itching, tab. Claritin once daily at night can be taken.

Please let me know if you have any queries.

Take care,
Regards.

Thank you Doctor. About the application of terbinafine cream mixed with Mupirocin. Should I mix both when applying or apply at separate times.

Best Regards.
